This chapter examines the influence of the Project for the New American Century on U.S. foreign policy, particularly in relation to military interventions in Iraq and other conflicts. Speakers critique past decision-makers for their roles in promoting wars under questionable justifications, highlighting the human cost and the contradiction of America’s self-image as a 'good guy.' Additionally, the conversation raises concerns about technology in law enforcement and the potential implications of a domestic war on terrorism, echoing fears of government overreach.
