Abstract

In this paper I argue that the American military occupation of Iraq was doomed to failure from its very beginning because it was based on an unsound hypothesis of liberation. The Iraqi fiasco is the logical result of the conceptual mistake of conceiving the American mission as a liberation, and not as the occupation of an enemy country. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
