A grim chronicle
http://www.economist.com/books/displayStory.cfm?story_id=4342329
Sep 1st 2005
From The Economist print edition
The war in Iraq has been widely reported, but thinly understood. A new
book, by an Arabic-speaking American journalist, sets out to right that
wrong
"AT 5:34am, on Thursday March 20th 2003, the United States began a
war of its own choosing, buoyed by grand ambition and perhaps folly."
Its declared reason-to wrest terrifying weapons from Saddam
Hussein-was bogus or a delusion; its plan for the occupation that
followed a scribbled afterthought; some 25,000 Iraqi civilians and
2,000 American and British troops have since been killed in chaos that
may yet wreak civil war.
