I’ve been maintaining throughout this war that Iraqis would likely consider the US invasion as imperialism and would be justified in doing so. Now today John Judis has a piece in the New Republic making that point at greater length and clarity than I could. I won’t quote here, but it’s definitely worth a read. It makes me wonder why commentators make their analysis without any historical perspective on the region, or selective historical perspective.
