Iraq I: An Invitation to Blog

The third anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq is March 19.

I don’t know about you, but I’m just about tapped out on commenting on the conduct and progress (or lack thereof) of the war and occupation, so Kiko’s House will be taking a different tack to mark this important anniversary:

How has the war in Iraq changed the U.S.?

I welcome your views on this provocative question.

Specifically, how has the U.S. changed in the three years since the invasion and what long-term changes, if any, do you anticipate regarding how Americans and others view the U.S.’s place in the world and its responsibilities as the sole remaining superpower?

Will there be an isolationist backlash or more Iraq-like wars in other trouble spots? Which view, if either, do you support?

And have Americans and others changed their views of the Bush administration specifically and the responsibilities of presidential administrations generally when it comes to foreign affairs, as well as the use of presidential powers?

Visitors to Kiko's House live literally the world over. You don't need to reside in the U.S. to comment. Anonymous comments are welcome.

Please send them to kikokimba@gmail.com

Many thanks.
