The war in the Middle East is tough because it was congress who gave the power to invade, but the president also had the ability to not invade as the head of the DoD.

I’m fairly certain if GWB didn’t invade Iraq/Afghanistan he would have been impeached due to the fervour in the USA at that time. Looking back many agree that invading the Middle East was a mistake, but at the time there was only one Congress person (Barbara Lee) who voted against giving powers to invade, and that person was deeply ostracized for their choice.

Invading the Middle East was an atrocity, but who is responsible? The American public? The president? Congress?
