Sunday will mark 20 years since American troops captured Baghdad after a swift and seemingly conclusive victory over Iraqi forces. But that victory was a mirage and years of terror remained for both Iraq and the U.S. before the establishment of a fragile democracy. Special correspondent Simona Foltyn spoke with former President Barham Saleh about his views 20 years later. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
