Biggest Screwup in History?

I watched GI Joe when I was younger and I always cheered for the US, so don't think I'm an American basher for posting this. You're current administration is a bunch of fuck ups, I am cheering for America to get out of this mess. God Speed.

 This documentary No End in Sight is a must watch, Paul Bremer won the American Medal of Freedom and as an international citizen I believe that is an insult,I hope Americans feel the same. This prestigious award is for "especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interest of the United States, World Peace or cultural or other significant public or private endeavors"--Kennedy

Does Paul Bremer fit this description? In this clip we learn about the decisions Bremer made that changed the course in Iraq and perhaps the "War on Terror". After the military easily won the Iraq war, Bremer created an insurgency that would turn the easy victory into the long endless war scenario we are in today. As the title suggests, perhaps the biggest screwup in history, if not I would like to hear arguments against that claim, I like to see how this one atleast stacks up.

 

 

 

That was just a sniff, the full documentary is below, it's been sliced up into individual segments if you find a segment that inspires you to blog. This documentary is full of interviews will high level officials who were involved in the planning and reconstruction of Iraq, an fascinating peek behind the curtain, why was this stuff not reported more extensivly when it happend? So please, research, rant, blog, sift, go ahead and grab clips. Also included in the playlist below are interviews with Paul Hughes and the Documentary maker Charles Ferguson with Tavis Smiley, along with other PBS coverage of this Documentary.

the whole Adam and Eve debacle with the snake was arguably a bigger screwup... and then the Hitler thing was bad. Actually, looking back, humans seem to screwup all the time.
