"It is now conventional wisdom that Americans do not care why we went to war in Iraq, that it is enough that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein"

- Adam Schiff

About this Quote

This quote by Adam Schiff recommends that the majority of Americans are not worried about the reasons for the war in Iraq, and are rather content with the reality that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. This suggests that the American public is more concentrated on the result of the war, instead of the motivations behind it. This sentiment is now extensively accepted, and is seen as the standard wisdom. This might be analyzed as an indication of lethargy towards the war, or an absence of interest in the details of the dispute. It might also be viewed as a sign of approval of the war, and a belief that the world is a much better location without Saddam Hussein. Eventually, this quote recommends that the American public is more concerned with the outcomes of the war, instead of the reasons for it.
