A Tale of Two Wars; Israel and Palestine: Is Peace Possible?
A Tale of Two Wars
When should a country, like the United States, go to war? It is a difficult question and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. Richard N. Haass in his book, War of Necessity, War of Choice looks at the the first and second wars in Iraq with that question in mind. A member of the National Security Council during the first President Bush and director of policy planning in the State Department for George W. Bush, Haass has a perspective that only a handful of people have about the decisions made in going to war. Larry talks to Richard N. Haass about the ambition, execution and reasons by both wars and what the future holds for the current war in Iraq.
