The U.S. is Finally Having its Great Debate Over the Iraq War
The Washington Post's David Ignatius notes in an August 26, 2005 column that, America is finally having its great debate over the Iraq war.
In that debate," he said, "it's worth listening to a young Iraqi Shiite cleric named Ammar Hakim. He speaks for the people who arguably have gained the most from America's troubled mission in Iraq and, to a surprising extent, still believe in it."
Interestingly, this debate is taking place, in part, because the formidable Bush Administration propaganda machine has been unable to thwart it or send it in a direction that takes the focus off the human and economic toll the war is taking on the U.S.
