Salt Lake City, UT – In his article in the current issue of Foreign Policy, Professor Alasdair Roberts says that many Americans tell an oversimplified tale about the war in Iraq. They fault the president and his powerful cronies for everything gone wrong. The truth though, according to Roberts, is much more complicated, and the American public shares the blame. Monday, he joins Doug to discuss the unrealistic demands we place on our government and how little we are willing to sacrifice to make them happen.

Alasdair Roberts' article The War We Deserve appears in the November/December 2007 issue of Foreign Policy.
