If we actually cared about pro-American governments over democracy then we wouldn't have run democratic elections in Iraq, a government that's now rather anti America.
- 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.
