Lessons Leant From The Program “Frontline: The War Behind Closed Doors”: Exemplar Essay To Follow

The experience of watching the program “Frontline: The War Behind Closed Doors” has enabled me learn the hidden idea of what made Bush administration in staging war with Iraq. It clearly looks to be for purposes of US projection of its influence and power across the world. The program also has also portrayed how the American policy was changed following occurrences of the September 11 tragedy. To me, some scenes seem as if this was a plot to go after regime-change and one man, Saddam Hussein. The program dispels my initial perception of the war having some fundamental involvement in the interest of oil.
However, I have learnt about certain negative aspects of this program such as the propaganda that was being spouted by one host of the Jewish television. The program offers the insight of how propaganda is used to disguise the support for a particular war by security think-tanks. We are also given a false picture that the Jewish advisors from President Bush’s side drew him into a belligerent posture. These claims seem to have not been disputed despite them being made on faulty intelligence. To me, such sentiments are only used to earn sympathy from the generally public but without any real reservations from those who make such utterances.
Meanwhile, this program revived the previous wrong notion which perceived Iraq as a collapsed business in the face of American discontents. In Regan’s regime for instance, Iraq seemed a “terrorist state sponsor”, a fact which is portrayed in the movie as being a war-propaganda. The events of the program make me recall what other media sources had initially revealed as war speech by Bush regarding his usage of Frum’s commitment. Hence, I am convinced that, with high-end intelligence and proper usage of propaganda, a state can easily plan and ignite war against another rival state.
