Summary of Michael J. Mazarr's Leap of Faith

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Camp David is the official retreat of American presidents, and it is a rustic facility tucked into the forested northern edge of Maryland. It is a second-rate family resort, according to publicly available photographs.

#2 The decision to launch an ill-conceived invasion of Iraq as the centerpiece of a war on terror has been a historical misjudgment of the first order. The war has been a catastrophe for the Iraqi people, and it has drained US finances.

#3 The decision to invade Iraq was the worst American foreign policy decision since Vietnam, and it was made without a single, clear, dispositive decision. It was a prolonged and methodical preparation for the invasion, but it never came up at the Camp David session in September 2002.

#4 Many people believe that the Iraq war was a result of a self-consciously dishonest plot to hoodwink the American people. But my research has shown that the two factors that are especially relevant to understanding how such a tragedy could occur are the fuel of American missionary ambitions and the spark of an intuitive, value-driven judgment.
