Don't forget, that cringe-worthy episode of the "War on Terror" led to the eventual rise of a terrorist army that used a destabilized Iraq as a base from which to plot terror attacks against us for years--hardly an effective outcome, from a counterterrorism standpoint.

If Americans aren't getting enough information about the 149 countries in which U.S. Special Forces are deployed, for instance, how will we know which foreign policies further our interests and which will eventually blow up in our collective face?

Takeaway: read/watch foreign news. Demand more of it. There will always be a need for quality American coverage of the world, and that need is currently not being sufficiently met--to the world's detriment.

It's sweet of you to refer to jingoistic, pro-war, uncritical media reports as "mistakes" in the run-up to Iraq. But if you look at it honestly, you'll see the exact same pattern whenever Uncle Sam is on the warpath, from Cuba 1898 to DPRK 2017. It's a feature, not a bug.

Thanks Sulome! Excellent point. Also geography in US schools on sharp decline since 1980s. I'm no expert on this but it seems that initial decline in credible journalism was with 'malignment' of ~775 media journalists & military during imbedding of Desert Storm & 'War on Terror'

It seems that the only way Americans learn their geography is when we go to war.
