  1. I don't see an issue with a democracy choosing their own allies. The US didn't invade to make Iraq its proxy

  2. No. The oil conspiracies have been debunked over and over.

  3. ​ @joseagreda9753  Stupid conspiracy. Saudi Arabia is the only country that can decide on the petrodollar.

  4. The US handed over the country to the Iraqi people. They are responsible for the country's success or failure.

  5.  @andrewbenbow9257  I would say billions of dollars in financial aid to Iraq would clearly show how baseless a metaphor that Iraq was "left on the side of the road" is.

  6. No. 20 years of conspiracy theories and misinformation won't go away.

  7.  @yoannsebastiengarneau318  That doesn't make sense. Pre-invasion Iraq was the most anti-Iran country in history.

  8. I think they were referencing only to Arab Sunnis as Kurdish Sunnis can't really be categorized together.

  9.  @aze94  The Americans didn't create Iraqi's intolerance of other ethnic groups, and they didn't create Iraqi corruption. Those are wholly Iraqi-made issues. No stupid metaphor is going to defect blame from Iraqi made issues.

  10. False.

  11. Not really, because they didn't have a good plan to transition the goverment to democracy then either.

  12. It would probably be a bloodier than the the Syrian Civil War and Libyan Civil War combined.

  13.  @aze94  You mean the US eliminated Saddam's secret police whose torture techniques would have made the Nazis disgusted?

  14.  @fongangamassana6034  The petro dollar was a fact of global trade when Chávez ran Venezuela, Saddam ran Iraq, and the ayatollah ran Iraq. You can pretend otherwise, but demand for the dollar is unmatched due to his economic stability, large supply, and a lack of political risk. China, Russia, and Iran have strict capital controls because even their citizens will dump the local currency as soon as they can for the dollar.

  15. Iraqi bigotry and intolerance can only be blamed on bigoted, intolerant Iraqis.

  16. Antisemites blame the Jews for everything

  17. Iraq's flawed democracy is way better than Taliban rule.

  18. That is because autocrats suck
