Groupthink
Groupthink is a flawed method of thinking where problems such as illusion of invulnerability, illusion of unanimity, and mindguards present themselves. Groupthink has been responsible for countless bad decisions of many countries. Groupthink gives unrealistic confidence to goals within the group.
In this article of CNN, the result of groupthink is evidently clear. Just like the Bay of Pigs, and Vietnam, so Iraq will be another blunder due to groupthink. There are great indicators that maybe the president had mindguards where information of the validity of WMDs’ was kept hidden. The president’s Iraq advisors probably suffered from the illusion of invulnerability. Not to long ago the president appeared on an air craft carrier proclaiming victory in Iraq, this was clearly a symptom of groupthink.
