How Will History Books Remember the Iraq Invasion?
Will high school students in the U.S. 30 years from now read about the WMD rationale for war, about yellowcake, the 2003 SOTU speech, about "not wanting a mushroom cloud to be the smoking gun" being the Tonkin/USS Maine of this misbegotten war?

Will the origins of foreign policy from the PNAC be described?

What will the high school students in OTHER countries read about this?

3. An illegal war by an illegal President.
