Good job there US foreign policy. Sadaam was bad but after the criminal attack of the country by the USA for no reason at all, things are WAY worse for the average person in the street. I can still hear that idiot Bush standing there and saying, "We will bring freedom and democracy to the people of Iraq". Well, how did that work out?

It's a typical outcome of American Imperialism gone bad. A lot of people on this board are complaining about Obama doing nothing or very little in Syria. That is the most brilliant thing a POTUS has done in a long time. Things are bad there but if the USA gets involved they will be a lot worse.

You mean that we weren't there to liberate the Iraqis?

Damn...I'm disappointed.

The US had nothing to do with what is happening now in Iraq.....Shiites and Sunnis have been killing each other forever...It is over religion, not politics.

The US has EVERYTHING to do with what is happening there today. The Shiites and Sunnis were NOT killing each other under the Baath regime. The destabilization caused by the American invasion has taken a mildly unstable region and turned it into near total anarchy.

The entire world would be far better off if the USA would forget about all of it's foreign adventures and worry about solving American problems in the USA.
