The basic thrust of this article. The fact that he works for NYT. The fact that he terms US hegemony "liberal" and the Chinese "hard power". Iraqi's would be to differ !
Yes, the Iraqis (particularly those 1+ million Iraqi civilians who died) certainly experienced some of America's "soft power". If soft power means bombs and bullets and drones and missiles raining down on their families.
Whereas China's interactions with Iraq are definitely all about the bombs and missiles too right? Except that we are selling them to the Iraqi government, not dropping it on their children.
