Abstract
The present thesis has conducted a technical and thematic study on George Packer’s The Assassins’ Gate: America in Iraq (First published in 2005). It has investigated how the wars USA has waged have been justified. USA has focused on its role as a unipolar power that reigns supreme and wages wars in several parts of the world, Iraq included. Later on, it has been proved that these wars are neither for democratization nor world peace; neither for human rights nor for preventing Iraq from misusing weapons of mass destruction (henceforth WMD). The wars have been waged for oil and for oil alone; a terrible experience indeed. The invasion of Iraq was the most controversial and momentous American foreign policy decision in recent memory. There appears to be a radical cleavage between the justifications for war as WMD—which proved to be hollow— and the actual motives. The Bush administration deception has been exposed as ex-weapons inspectors have proved that Iraq has no serious WMD capability. So, this so-called preventive war claim is invalid. The only clear motive is the Bush administration’s overweening ambition to overthrow any regime it dislikes. It was known that this threat is a fiction rather than a fact. Therefore, American public support for the war steadily declined proving that the War on Iraq was a mistake.
