5th Anniversary of the U.S. War of Aggression Against Iraq | From the Leiter Reports

The following is from the Leiter Reports and I strongly suggest you go through and read the following essays no matter what your position on the 'war' is.

Today marks the 5th anniversary of one of the most spectacular state crimes in recent history, one that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, and millions of lives disrupted and ruined. A recent essay by Professor Chomsky is apt for marking the occasion. It might also be useful to recall some earlier postings on the subject here over the past few years, both on the apologists for the crimes and the crimes themselves:

On Norman Geras and the proposition that "there was no persuasive moral case against the Iraq War"

The Proposed U.S. Troop "Surge" in Iraq

The Permanent U.S. Military Presence in Iraq
