The Iraq War - a military victory but a moral defeat

Is it still worth writing or reading about this war, of all times, when a seemingly much more important war is raging in Europe? It has been twenty years since the Iraq war broke out. The protagonists of that time – US President George W. Bush and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder – are irrelevant as decision-makers if they are still alive, and their political projects seem outdated.

And yet: the Iraq war and the lessons learned from it must interest us today, even ardently. Because they explain to an important part the defensive that the West has gotten into these days.
