Shitty low grade what-about-ism.
I marched against the Iraq invasion. America isn't perfect. There's plenty to discuss about that. But.
But you're crusading is doing no one any favors. You are deflecting from a far more malicious war of aggression, with dastardly & vile strategies of causing civilian pain en mass, being pushed at the highest levels of government.
What did America do once we invaded Iraq? We tried to build a functioning safe democracy. We turned the nation over to the people as we said we would. We built tons of infrastructure, a gift from America. We rebuilt transformers time and time again after insurgent attacks. American military interventionist keeps feeling extremely stupid & never goes right, and comes with tragic losses & horrors of war, but the contrast of intent versus the war against Ukraine just cannot be any more razor clear.
