Better off how? I pointed out their power grid is shit, their water table is contaminated, their buildings are bombed out, and everything but their oil has been privatized. Materially, they’re fucked 3 ways to Sunday.
If you’re trying to still make digs about ‘supporting Saddam killing Kurds’ or w/e, I’ll point out again that Saddam had the full backing of the US until Kuwait
And you can get rid of people like him without invading the country and tearing it asunder
The Americans did not care about the people Saddam killed, and they killed millions more Iraqis then he ever did, you’re a delusional racist and a war worshiping dipshit
It’s true, the number of times i heard “glass the middle east” as a child comprehensively destroyed for me the idea of america as a force for anything good, and of americans as an aggregate being anything but a swarm of stupid bloodthirsty assholes once they get activated.
I have hope for the individuals, but as a collective identity? No more American, the world does not need American.
Apparently this bozo’s feelings
Motherfucker is acting like all libs, like this is some marvel movie shit to them where after the US got Saddam, all the ‘good guys’ stood on top of a building in downtown Baghdad at night and said ‘We have hope now’ and then the credits rolled
They forgot this is real life
They don’t have functional infrastructure 20 years after the war and they did under Saddam. You really think the US was interested in anything besides cannibalizing the country for resources?
edit: Oh yeah, they were interested in one other thing: handing lucrative ”rebuilding” contracts to corporations like Halliburton with direct ties to the Bush admin.
