Investigative journalist Vincent reports on his travels through Iraq during the American led occupation. He uses encounters with Iraqis he met during his four months there as a way to measure US success in fighting "Islamofascism," which he believes justifies the US invasion and ongoing occupation. Claiming to have penetrated the Iraqi mind, he argues that there may have been mistakes in the occupation, but the implanting of "democracy" in Iraq is necessary to protect the US from the "despair and self-loathing at the center of the Muslim world."
