That Iraq is worse off today for America's war of aggression is beyond dispute---but how close to the precipice of utter disaster is spelled out in an article published in "Foreign Affairs" magazine. If this report doesn't discourage the warmongers from attacking Iran as they did in Iraq for the loftiest of reasons, it's hard to imagine what will.

President Obama's dodge to excuse CIA torturers from prosecution for their Bush era war crimes when he took office was that he wanted to "look forward." Result: the CIA has killed thousands of additional people during his term. Now, he won't apologize for USA's WWII nuclear attacks when he visits Hiroshima this month on the same grounds. In fact, what he terms looking forward actually is turning a blind eye to war crimes.
