Iraq: The Borrowed Kettle

In this short work Slavoj Žižek turns his sharp, unsettled eye on the attack on Iraq and the political and ideological forces behind it. Rather than offering a straightforward account of events, he treats the war as a set of stakes that reveal how power, ideas and public justifications operate. The result is a provocative and deliberately unsettling essay that challenges the familiar ways the conflict was explained to the public, and asks readers to look again at what lay beneath the official reasons for going to war.
