The Evolution of the Bush Administration’s Policy Toward Iraq

“You can’t spread democracy by the points of bayonets.”

In an interview with Joseph Cirincione, the evolution of the Bush administration’s policy toward Iraq is picked apart. Its origins begin with a small group of influential officials and experts in Washington, D.C., who were calling for regime change in Iraq long before September 11, 2001. This group calls itself the
Project for the New American Century. Joseph Cirincione specializes in defense and proliferation issues at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He is senior associate and director of the Non-Proliferation Project.
