Aftermath of Interventions: A Historical Reflection

This chapter reflects on the consequences of U.S. military interventions following 9/11, notably the Iraq War, and critiques the 'Mission Accomplished' narrative. It explores the complexities of overthrowing dictators, comparing the chaos following regime changes in Libya and Iraq, and questions the effectiveness of external interventions in establishing democracy. The discussion also highlights the historical patterns and moral implications of military actions, underscoring the tragic outcomes that often result when foreign powers intervene in deeply rooted conflicts.
