Priorities and Blunderings: Evaluating America's Invasion of Iraq in 2003

Global citizens,

Having learned a great deal about recent history in Afghanistan and, watched parts of No End in Sight, you are charged with creating a blog entry that addresses the 3 directives that you believe would have been the most important to implement upon invading Iraq, aside from capturing Saddam Hussein.

You should consider the different opinions portrayed in No End in Sight, determine what, if any of those decisions were erroneous, and explain your reasoning behind your prioritization. What should have been a priority and why? You should use any information or materials from class to support your decision (think about all of the units to date - curricular materials, lectures, etc.). You are also encouraged to perform your own research to justify your conclusions.

Finally, as it is a blog entry, you are expected to consider the arguments put forth by your fellow classmates.
