[David · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very little of interest that is not well established by now, especially considering the author. The most significant parts come with Ritter's own involvement in attempts at averting war: a presentation to the Iraqi Parliament, combative interviews and talks with Senators and administration officials, and a sadly failed peace delegaion to Iraq that had planned to include Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, Bishop Tutu, and others who were "unavailable." Ritter spends some embarrasing time defending his 2001 arrest, which we now know to have been quite justified. Ends with a rather ridiculous call to action in defense of American liberalism and the "Constitution," quoting in typical American political-religious fashion the names of Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, and others, ignoring all the while that the Bush-Clinton-Bush path to war with Iraq was merely the late 20th and new millennium expression of the genocide-buttressed Herrenvolk bourgeois order they established.

This was an interesting view of the war on terror. As is now known, Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. Scott Ritter as weapons inspector tried in vain to let the world know. Anyway now we are were we are because we let this happen. How will future generations view our actions??
