The Lingering Legacy of the Iraq War: 20 Years Later.
TL;DR Summary
The architects of the Iraq War, including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice, have faced no consequences for their actions and have instead been rewarded with promotions and money. Many of them continue to hold prominent positions in American politics and foreign policy. The Iraq War resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, but the U.S. media has paid little attention to their lives. The lack of accountability for the architects of the war raises questions about the functioning of the American system and its commitment to truth and justice.
