David Ray GriffinPublication Details
BookOlive Branch Press2009Description

War Of Necessity : War Of Choice : A Memoir Of Two Iraq Wars
Attribution
by Richard N. HaassPublication Details
BookSimon & Schuster2009Links
Description
When should the United States go to war? The first Iraq war, following Saddam Hussein’s invasion of neighboring Kuwait, was a war of necessity. By contrast, the second Iraq war was one of choice, the most significant discretionary war undertaken by the United States since Vietnam. War of Necessity, War of Choice — part history, part memoir — provides invaluable insight into some of the most important recent events in the world. It also provides a much-needed compass for how the United States can apply the lessons learned from the two Iraq wars so that it is better positioned to put into practice what worked and to avoid repeating what so clearly did not.

He will need to take account of the important lessons from past attempts, which are described and analyzed here in a gripping book by a renowned expert who served twice as U.S. ambassador to Israel and as Middle East adviser to President Clinton. He describes in vivid detail high-level meetings, demonstrating how difficult it is for American presidents to understand the motives and intentions of Middle Eastern leaders and how easy it is for them to miss those rare moments when these leaders are willing to act in ways that can produce breakthroughs to peace.

Bhutto presents an image of modern Islam that defies the negative caricatures often seen in the West. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Availability

This exceptional relationship is due largely to the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction. Mearsheimer and Walt provocatively contend that the lobby has a far-reaching impact on America?s posture throughout the Middle East?in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?and the policies it has encouraged are in neither America?s national interest nor Israel?s long-term interest.
