The Icarus Trap: Arrogance, Misperception, and the U.S. Invasion of Iraq - War on the Rocks https://warontherocks.com/2024/03/the-icarus-trap-arrogance-misperception-and-the-u-s-invasion-of-iraq/ March 26, 2024 The Icarus Trap: Arrogance, Misperception, and the U.S. Invasion of Iraq Chas Freeman writes: If only it was an isolated example of what is wrong with US engagement in war. US is a terminal patient unwilling to accept its condition. Maybe also those millionaires in Congress are a problem as being in this elite class tends to be isolating. As I have said before US is rotting from top to bottom. Ad I think it is inaccelerating decay and decline and has the wrong leadership (a bipartison problem). A relative, a graduate of one of UK's two most elite universities, recently said its leaders have destroyed the country and it is skiing downhill,. I think this can also be said of the US.
