The Inside Story of Iraq's Descent into Chaos

Episode 2 of 2

How the British and US governments invaded Iraq with no plan for bringing peace and democracy to a country with no history of either.

John Ware relates the inside story of how the British and American governments invaded Iraq but had no plan for what happened next - how to bring peace and democracy to a country of 26 million with no history of either. One former British general who was part of the reconstruction team described the failure by Washington and London to plan properly for the peace as 'snatching defeat from the jaws of victory'.
