“Politicians can’t seem to identify any ‘legitimate’ US ‘interest’ that war would serve; polls show that the public opposes the project; military leaders, when pressed to propagandize for intervention, have instead repeatedly cautioned that war would likely boost the fortunes of al Qaeda and other groups who have been designated ‘the enemy’.

If all this seems confusing and counter-intuitive, here’s why.”
