"Almost everyone acknowledges that the Iraq War was a mistake sold to the American people on false pretenses, directly causing the deaths of 460,000 Iraqis and 4,506 American servicemen."
"Those who opposed the war now stand vindicated, even if many lost their careers due to their opposition to the Iraq War."
"Frum attributed opposition to a lack of patriotism, stating, 'They began by hating the neoconservatives... They have finished by hating their country.'"
"Ben Shapiro described people who oppose the Iran War as 'cowards, plus liars, plus people who despise America.'"
The Iraq War, initiated under false pretenses, resulted in the deaths of 460,000 Iraqis and 4,506 American servicemen. It destroyed Iraq's Christian community and created a power vacuum. David Frum's initial attacks on war opponents are now seen as lazy and dishonest. Those who opposed the war have been vindicated despite career losses. Frum attributed opposition to a lack of patriotism, a sentiment echoed by Ben Shapiro in the context of the current Iran War, labeling opponents as cowards and liars.
