Why would anyone who lives in Iraq be partial to the USA? 1. The USA subverted their democracy and helped install Saddam Hussein as dictator. 2. Fifteen years later, the USA attacked their army in Kuwait and established an economic embargo that lead to the deaths of 1.5 million children (due to lack of medicine and unsanitary drinking water). 3. Ten years after that the USA invaded their country, destroyed the infrastructure, and disbanded the army. We arrested almost every man of military age and subjected them to torture and waterboarding in prison. 4. Then the USA covertly supported ISIS that helped destroy the country even more and targeted other minority groups for genocide. 5. The USA made military bases on archaeological landmarks and actively destroyed archaeological treasures.
It is interesting to note that for the cost of the Iraq invasion in 2003, we could have built a brand new home for every single family in Iraq at the time. Which strategy do you think would make better allies - Destroy the country, or build everyone a home?
