Summary, etc. | Prior to the Iaq War there had been a long series of American wars at least as far back as the war with Mexico, in which U.S. leaders often manoeuvered the other side into firing first. This strategy meant the U.S. could claim moral and legal legitimacy which are important assets in democratic government. This article describes several of these American wars and argues that the Iraq War is a fundamental change because it contradicts longstanding practices in American foreign policy and has the potential to generate much greater international disorder than the Vietnam War. Furthermore as a military occupation it may prove more expensive and much more difficult than the occupations of Korea, Japan, or Germany. |
