So over seven years after "Mission Accomplished" we're saying that the Iraq War is over. But we all know it's not. 50,000 troops on the ground says so. Here at the Index we understand why for political reasons, now's not the time to address curtailing America's imperial ambitions (and that's if the POTUS even believes that's something worth addressing), but the sooner we have that conversation in this country the sooner we can get to actually pressing issues.
