On the 22nd anniversary of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, prominent figures behind the war, such as Condoleezza Rice and Mike Pompeo, hold influential positions in U.S. universities, raising concerns about the consequences of their actions. Meanwhile, officials like Brett McGurk and Jake Sullivan, who aided Biden's policies during the Gaza conflict, have also secured academic roles. Activists, including Van Gosse, are challenging this intersection of academia and complicit politics, advocating against institutional acceptance of war crimes and urging solidarity with Palestinian causes. The Iraq War’s legacy persists, prompting calls for accountability and ethical reflection.
The 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq is viewed as a moral abomination, grounded in the deceitful narrative of weapons of mass destruction propagated by the Bush administration.
Key architects of the Iraq War are now comfortably positioned in elite academia, reflecting a troubling normalization of their controversial actions in contemporary politics.
