Iraq invasion was initially welcomed by vast majority of iraqis and US were initially seen as the liberators. So "invading" is not the correct word to use because it was not seen as such by Iraqis.
- Leary 8y agoSo welcomed in fact they invited American troops to remain there for 10 years.
- parthdesai 8y agoAnd what is the state of Iraq right now? How many people have died just because some power hungry lunatic "was sure" that Iraq had WMD's? What about Libya? What is the state of Libya? Let's not even get started on Afghanistan. Do you even know of Task force 47 in war of 1971 between India-Pakistan? I'm not well versed in geo politics of Latin America but there have been cases over there as well where US would meddle in internal affairs of a country and overthrow a ruler.
- house9-2 8y ago> Iraq invasion was... > So "invading" is not the correct word... I think you are contradicting yourself? We invaded on false pretense 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' if I recall - it was an invasion and ideally it should have been an effort driven by the UN instead of the Republican party of the USA.
- TheForumTroll 8y agoNo, at wast wast majority never saw the US as liberators. Quite the opposite. Are you in a filter bubble or military?
