>Why do people continue to believe nonsense like this?
We've seen it happen a number of times? Graduates of the School of the Americas have committed countless human rights violations throughout and lead numerous military dictatorship throughout the Americas.
>The US wants stable governments, not unstable ones.
Civilian led governments often aren't stable. They can suddenly vote to not side with the US.

- boomboomsubban 5y agoDespite the Iraqi leader being against the US presence in Iraq, US oil companies are still making huge profits in Iraq and the US military is still in Iraq as an "advisory role" even more powerful than the one mentioned in the article. Plus, I can't imagine it's easy to create a truly pro-US government in Iraq no matter how hard you try.
