go see this movie.

Now I don't ususally interject TOO much of my own opinion in here, but I'm gonna do it now.
Go See No End In Sight.
It was a fabulous documentary on how (how many times, how many ways) we screwed up the reconstruction of Iraq after "winning the war."
It interviews many important higher-ups involved about where they went wrong (Armitage is exceptionally interesting.)
