Presented by Vox’s flagship podcast, Today, Explained

This session was previously scheduled in the Creative Industry Expo. Please note the new time and location.

It’s been 20 years since the United States invaded Iraq to confiscate weapons of mass destruction and end the dictatorial rule of Saddam Hussein; nineteen years and ten months since President George W. Bush declared “Mission: Accomplished”; and eleven years and five months since President Barack Obama ended the combat mission in Iraq. If you’re lucky, the Iraq war is a distant memory. But if you’re not, it hasn’t yet ended.
