To say the USA’s intervention in Iraq, Libya or Syria has been a failure, is to miss the point of the intervention. From those set to benefit – ie the big club that you nor I will ever be, or ever wish to be, a member of – those interventions are probably viewed as remarkable success stories.

I’m certain that the entire War on Terror narrative is something that Edward Bernays would be amazingly proud of.
