More than 12 years after the United States invaded Iraq, refugees are fleeing for the European Union as the self-proclaimed Islamic State overruns the country.
A unique CNN documentary hosted by Fareed Zakaria re-examines the lead-up to the Iraq War, the diplomatic missteps on the ground, and the debate over the troop surge and the American withdrawal.
Zakaria issues his own mea culpa in the film. While he argued for a very different invasion and engagement in the country—more troops,a United Nations mandate, no de-Baathification—Zakaria says "that does not change the fact that I did support the decision to topple Saddam Hussein's regime."What you'll learn from this segment: How America's strategy in Iraq has differed from tactics employed in Yemen, or Libya,and Syria.
Why Zakaria believes a unique U.S. military intervention in the region would be ineffective.
Where Zakaria sees the Middle East going after President Obama leaves office.
