Sorry, couldn't respond because I had to go to bed. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, like I said, ultimately it's hard to get around the fact that it worked out about the way people predicted it would - that we would get ensnared in a conflict we couldn't "win" by our own definition. But, I do believe that Bush actually believed in spreading democracy and freedom, and had a (somewhat) reasonable goal compared to Trump's policies.
I haven't actually read either of them, but if you're interested in learning about Iraq (and military affairs in general) in a more nuanced way, check out:

Admittedly, I've only read small parts of each, but both are excellent journalists/writers and they should be good.
