I read that Hillary Clinton was pushing for war in the case of Libya, so indeed this kind of policy seems to be institutionalized by now [1]. I wonder how that could happen, as the US didn't get any clear benefit out of the Iraq war, didn't she? By that point in time the consensus seems to have been that the war created a big mess and a big budget deficit, so how could it become institutionalized?
