Appraise Iraq war fairly, too

Hooray! We're finally going to get to the bottom of the Utah war. As historian David L. Bigler noted in the Deseret Morning News article of Sept. 16, we must have "a faithful account of its causes and outcomes, not an illusory rendering that encourages complacency and false pride. ... It must be as fair and balanced and, above all, as honest as admittedly flawed historians can make it."

How long will be have to wait to apply the same standards to the Iraq war?
