    • More like I'm defending you from myself... The American government NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER directly wanted to help the people of Iraq all they wanted to do was cripple and remove Saddam's ability to wage war military and economically, i.e. what Saddam tried to do to the Kuwait (i.e. blackmail them into submission by forcing them to pay him billions for the money they made selling THEIR OWN oil or he would invade, well they didn't cooperate so he started a war, a war that the US (and the Coalition of United Nations) ended for him. The US never were there to help the Iraqi people, it may have been sold to the masses as that, but he was to topple Saddam's regime. Hence, why the Iraqi people are suffering now, the US accomplished their mission and left. They have no more business in Iraq now, well until ISIS started up and then was put to death... So don't get the US's M.O. twisted, they did exactly what they set out to do...which was topple Saddam's regime so the Tyrant couldn't "get it the way" of us civilized people who aren't stuck in some religious fantasy, and just want to live our lives without having to worry about some psycho and his ego, not to mention that same psycho killing our people for no good reason. He needed to be stopped and was. Don't worry though the US will be back again after the next pyschos go ballastic. The US economy is just waiting for a kick start...just give them a reason and they will be back.

    • +The Many Mancer i think you're taking on a little too much of the blame, i think history will show that iraqi's and what's left of saddam's regime fucked it up. intentionally. I think saddam was such a destructive force that he continued to destroy that country after he was dead and hung. He even left instructions, that were followed out on what to do after the "Fall of baghdad" he pretty much laid out a blue print for the destruction of that country, which too many baath'ists, and other people who probably saw the power vacuum open and longed for the power or material wealth he systematically raped from his country. the guy was such a bad guy, to the extent that most American's can't even appreciate. All the shit isis is doing now is the same shit his cronies did in secret all along. Done by essentially the same people, beheading is such a middle eastern cultural thing it's no doubt to me that his cronies are behind it. I think it's still yet to be seen, and often people have short memories. I doubt these new programs talk to any people who were killed by Saddam. the guy killed his own family, women, children. he may or may not had WMD, we'll never know. but he was holding his people hostage.

The way they see it yes Saddam was a snake n had to be removed but not in the haphazard way the US & the UK principally did it. They cut off one snakes head but another 10 have appeared now 😔. If there was no clear plan to maintain a functioning structure in Iraq after removing Saddam, then they shouldn't have lied about WMD'S and gone in and destroyed the whole system in place and with it millions of lives lost let alone others irreparably damaged and displaced.

The plan was to topple the govt, take control of the oil n made sure that they fight each other. that way u dont have to pay real money to buy oil. u just have to handed them some broken ass weapon n get the Oil in exchange. n by this way u can destroy country after country like this who has Oil n natural resources in middle east. i dont believe in HELL but if there is one u guys already book the first place. they way u explained the plan of urs tell everyone how properly well educated u guys really r. before u talk shit about Iraq i wanna say GOOD JOB, only a real EVIL person can do what u guys have done. Made a dictator look like an angel. that sums up it all how amazing u people really r. Bring peace n trust everywhere u go. Every place u guys involve last 50 years with ur military r now a heaven compare to what it was before.
