More on Iraq: How We Got Here and Who (Not) to Listen To
Apropos of the other day’s posting about ignoring those who have proven so worthy of being ignored, here is a little more on Iraq.
First, a short (1000 words) primer on how we got here. Who are the leaders of ISIS? How are they related to Al Qaeda? What are they up to? Etc. Definitely worth three minutes of your time.
Then, some reminders from James Fallows of folks who got things spectacularly wrong 12 years ago and yet are foolishly being looked to again for supposed wise counsel. And many pointers to more circumspect thinking.
