\tLa conclusion de son article :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00ab Still, whatever their political inclinations, Americans should welcome this debate. At a bare minimum, the eruption of blame and backstabbing will offer considerable entertainment value. To read (on the Vanity Fair website) that neoconservative David Frum, former White House speechwriter and author of a fawning tribute to Bush, has discovered that the president said the words, he just did not absorb the ideas, is simply a hoot. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbMore substantively, the purging of political elites infesting Washington always has a cleansing effect. Figuring out who lost Iraq? ought to provide the occasion for throwing out more than a few rascals who hold office and discrediting others a process that will no doubt get a kick-start with today’s midterm elections. With luck, those surviving will be at least momentarily chastened, perhaps giving rise to an Iraq syndrome akin to the Vietnam syndrome, and which at least for a while will save us from another similar debacle.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWe should not kid ourselves that political sniping of the sort now in evidence will yield conclusive answers. These are merely the preliminaries. But let the preliminaries begin so that we can work our way forward to the main event. It cannot fail to involve Americans more generally and to pose fundamental questions about 21st century governance, this nation’s real role in a globalized world and the illusions about American power and prerogatives that spawned the Iraq war.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
