many people think the war against iraq was an unnecessary war. it was done under false premises because there was no nuclear weapons found. on the other hand, the united states rid the world of a very bad character. a man who spread terrorism. he stabilize this region. he did make weapons of mass distraction at one time. then he stopped for a while. to be truthful, once the sanctions were relaxed in the tension was office saddam hussein, he was going to probably return to weapons of mass distraction. the other ingredients i have argued is that saddam hussein's removal was one of the necessary preconditions of the arab a spring that took place years later, ten years after the american invasion of iraq. on the other hand, it was a necessary condition that it showed the arab world that it dictator could be removed. consequently, they will be fighting any other controversy oh issues such as the civil war or vietnam more. any great decision will have these factors. it probably would have been better to avoid it, but once it is done you cannot go back.

when there was an ability for isis to roll right across the syria/iraq border. you know, i don't want to do that again, and in the end, it resulted in us sending more troops back. so i would prefer to have a sustained and long-term approach. >> i think the one thing about the lawrence of arabia movie that rings very true to me is the sense of that guy, that mid level guy out in the field who's been working stuff on the ground for years, who at the end of the movie, feels utterly betrayed by capital, and then goes off and writes a book that says, if only they had listened to me, this all would have worked out fine. >> yeah, yeah. by the way, it's a bit kennon-like as well. if you think of george kennon's angst about, if people would just listen to me. anyway -- >> so as i think about the iraq experience and i wrote this a couple years ago in a piece for "the atlantic," it strikes me that if there was an error or decision point that i think went wrong, it was not necessarily the withdrawal of all our combat forces in 2011, it was the other things we withdrew simult

you can suggest in your argument that the war in iraq is right, the war in afghanistan is right but weill learn in 10 years or so if iraq was a success. in assumingill be this bush doctrine of changing the middle east, changing the culture of the area, the area to 9/11, as a way to prevent the new 9/11 is correct. but again, it is theory and being tested on the ground as we speak. out, and iraq, lebanon, places like that, i think ill be ranked very high, perhaps as high as reagan. brian: why fdr number one for the current last century? charles: he shaved american democracy internally and age of fascism by softening it an making it less harsh, capitalism and governance number one. secondly, he defeated the great enemy of that time. without a doubt he stands head and shoulders above the others. brian: what you think about his social power? charles: i think you did what you had to do. social security was a great triumph. it sustained a hold to generations and took the elderly out of poverty. and the very sense of caring implied by all of his other programs, some of which worked in others

but in the context of the iraq war people often say how can we trust governments? we believe they lied about the weapons of mass destruction. anyway, this is having a follow on effect. how toxic is not knowing the truth and thinking everything is relative to democracy? >> it's absolutely corrosive to democracy. i remind people on iraq, we had six different inquiries that found the same thing. the government didn't lie. >> but people believe that. >> it is the interaction of politics with the modern media environment that is also important, because if you do get a fragmentation of politics that then is echoed in the media so that the media -- if it's a left media, it's not prepared to give trump anything, they'll pull him down, and the right media wants to support him right or wrong. >> over time -- >> it becomes hard to have a debate. and then criminal boossocial me that and you have conspiracy theories -- this is a debate for another time. but you have to think what do we need to do to change the environment within which we work so that that democratic debate can b
