Review of No End in Sight (2007) by Josiah M — 14 Dec 2007

An excellent documentary that mainly focuses on the prior years to the war in Iraq, the months before and after, and then gives a slight outlook on more current events and the future in Iraq. Essentially, the largest problem was not establishing marshal law.

I vividly remember Donald Rumsfeld commenting on the looting and stating that it was okay, and was an expression of freedom. Unknown to the US public, much of the historical and culturally significant parts of Iraqi heritage were stolen from the museum, and peoples' businesses were raided.

On top of this we did not employ Iraqi National Guard troops, leaving the ones who knew where the Iraqi weapons stashes were to voice their opinions with violence. The film also discusses the lack of the Bush administration to listen to any real experts, and basically commit an executive war for personal reasons.

The only solution given was basically to leave and deal with the aftermath later.
