DESCRIPTION:An author event with PETER BEINART -- Senior Political Writer for The Daily 
 Beast // Associate Professor of Journalism and Political Science, City 
 Univ. of New York // Senior Fellow, New America Foundation\n\nhu·bris 
 (hyu'bris)  n. Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance\n\nIn The Icarus 
 Syndrome, Peter Beinart tells a tale as old as the Greeks -- a story about 
 the seductions of success. Beinart describes Washington on the eve of three 
 wars -- World War One, Vietnam, and Iraq -- three moments when American 
 leaders decided they could remake the world in their image. Each time, 
 leading intellectuals declared that history was over, and the spread of 
 democracy was inevitable. Each time, a president held the nation in the 
 palm of his hand. And each time, a war conceived in arrogance brought 
 untold tragedy.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/06/07/18650091.php
