What can the West do to avoid wars like in Iraq and Afghanistan in future?
What can the democratic West do to avoid such absurdly unsubstantiated and extremely risky wars like in Iraq and Afghanistan in future? What's fundamentally wrong with the existing mechanisms of democratic control in the Western countries that could allow such wars to be started in the first place even in countries like UK where about 80% of the population were dead against the Iraq invasion? UK - parliamentarian democracy - plunged into Iraq war a couple of years latter only because it's PM for some absolutely unknown reasons individually decided to do so - how come?!
