Bush Stands Firm on Iraq Decision Despite Criticism.

Former President George W. Bush has remained silent on the 20th anniversary of the Iraq War, which will define his place in history. He has no interest in being part of the debate anymore and does not engage in second-guessing. Bush believes the world is better off without Saddam Hussein and has told advisers he has not changed his mind about that. While he understands the war went wrong, he does not revisit the underlying decision or dwell on his responsibility. Bush's silence at this anniversary, in the view of his critics, has hardly erased the stain of the decision he made.
