A Stupid, Unjust, and Criminal War: Iraq, 2001-2007

Greeley reviews his opposition to the Iraqi War based mainly on the principle that the war is not a just war and now that the United States is in the war, extracting our country from the war should be our number one goal.

The book is journal entries written by Greeley beginning on September 16, 2001, just after the terrorist attacks of September 11. The last entry was written April 13, 2007.

I found the book to be a challenge to read â partly because of the anger that I feel when I read about the collateral damage from the war â and because it is frustrating to read about the things that Greeley feels our military is failing at in this war. It doesn't help that I agree with his opinion.
