America’s decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003 is arguably the most important foreign policy choice of the entire post-Cold War era. Nearly two decades after the event, it remains central to understanding current international politics and US foreign relations.
In Confronting Saddam Hussein, the eminent historian of US foreign policy Melvyn P. Leffler analyzes why the US chose war and who was most responsible for the decision. Employing a unique set of personal interviews with dozens of top officials and declassified American and British documents, Leffler vividly portrays the emotions and anxieties that shaped the thinking of the president after the shocking events of 9/11. He shows how fear, hubris, and power influenced Bush’s approach to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.
At the core of Leffler’s account is his compelling portrait of Saddam Hussein. Rather than stressing Bush’s preoccupation with promoting freedom or democracy, Leffler emphasizes Hussein’s brutality, opportunism, and unpredictability and illuminates how the Iraqi dictator’s record of aggression and intransigence haunted the president and influenced his calculations. Throughout, Leffler highlights the harrowing anxieties surrounding the decision-making process after the devastating attack on 9/11 and explains the roles of contingency, agency, rationality, and emotion.

I tried to “smash that early life” but his wiki was cleansed. Had to locate is tribal loyalties elsewhere. What a flashback to the old days of scooter libby, charles krauthammer and bill cristol!
Shouldn’t he be writing now about “our” moral duty to make Ukraine safe for transkids and consumerism? I mean, come on fella get with the program.

A mouth Piece for the Bush Administration - He argues that Bush was prepared to call the Invasion off if Saddam would allow inspectors - he did! and two Weapons Inspectors resigned in disgust (Hans Blix & Richard Butler) when it became obvious that The USA was very much aware that Saddam possessed no WMD at all! Another inspector would resign later because of this charade (Scott Ritter).
Should be under FICTION

Look on the bright side we are still getting millions of Iraqis fleeing the war still and that means more diversity and democrat voters

Should be interesting to see how the author justifies a great unjustifiable war crime.And ignores the real reason behind it.
