On this timely book, Lawrence Kaplan and William Kristol take a hard take a look at Saddam Hussein. Plus they start to see the face of evil: someone who embraced a cruel mixture of socialism, fascism, and pan-Arab nationalism when young and later became a coup plotter and an associate of the Iraqi equivalent of Hitlers Brown Shirts. Once in power, Saddam methodically created a terror state where thousands of citizens have been made to disappear and where the wives of government officials are raped by secret policemen to extort loyalty from the officials or their colleagues. Kaplan and Kristol give a definitive analysis of the Bush doctrine and its shaping of any foreign policy that projects American influence on behalf of American interests and human freedom. They show that by enshrining in official policy the strategy of military preemption, regime change, and a vision of American power that is fully engaged on behalf of American principles, the Bush administration plans not only to liberate Iraq but also to create a new course for American policy in the twenty-first century. The War over Iraq looks back at how a sadistic dictator was permitted to acquire a great deal power on the planet stage. But it also offers a road map for a more hopeful future.
