To keep it short, if you don't want migrants think twice before starting a war(i.e is it worth it? What after we win?) or just stop pretending you care about human rights(i.e people dying of hunger, abuse etc) even if you are indirectly responsible.
I agree with you that many countries had flawed leadership to begin with it's not really the case with many others(i.e much of the middle east). Removing the government of another country by military force and destroying the social and physical infrastructure is the direct reason for the current situation. Arming various extremist groups does not help either. As we know Al-Qaeda was armed and trained by the U.S in the first place.
Why did US invade Iraq? We know it's for the oil now but at least it should have had the decency to provide security/safety transition to a democracy in exchange for their resources. Not to mention that US vets their leaders/administration. They are not infants but have little choice in the face of the world's most powerful country/countries.

But now since there's a new war, the Western intervention seemed to have changed nothing, just with a new set of leaders.

- keanzu 7y ago> Why did US invade Iraq? Why did Iraq invade Kuwait? Start a fight with a US ally and then complain when the US intervenes.
- gamblor956 7y agoWrong war. Iraq didn't invade Kuwait the second time around; we blamed him for arming terrorists and maintaining weapons in violation of the terms of the ceasefire ending the first Gulf War.
- thefounder 7y agoThe Iraq-Kuwait war was settled 20 years before the Iraq invasion. So to answer your question Iraq invaded Kuwait for the same reasons U.S invaded Iraq: oil. Thus the reason we have a U.S invasion of Iraq, not a U.S-Iraq war. The pretext of invasions were different though. Busch said it was because Saddam was evil and had weapons of mass destruction. Saddam was more decent in its allegations and said Kuwait was stealing Iraqi petroleum through slant drilling. Btw Saddam Hussein regime was "created" by the US and the UK...
