Saddam is gone, but Iraq is not much different. The chaotic post-invasion reality provides good cover for the purely cosmetic reinvention of this nation still at war.

Milan Rai, founder of the UK chapter of Voices in the Wilderness, has painstakingly outlined the international processes involved with the most openly illegal war in recorded history which reinstated many of the same Ba’thist ideologues and henchmen who were supposedly purged.

His book, “Regime Unchanged”, weaves together a shrewd narrative of quotes and analysis from across the political spectrum to demonstrate how the U.S. steamrolled through global opinion on its path toward conquering Iraq. Milan Rai asserts that the war nearly happened without the participation of the British, giving particular attention to the global anti-war movements, most notably within the United States and Great Britain.
