1.) Iraq was never annexed by USA.
2.) American govertment never claimed there is no Iraqi culture.
3.) There was no large kidnapping of Iraqi kids.
4.) There are no mass rapes made by the American military.
5.) Iraqis were never forced to forget Arab and learn only English.
6.) Hussein used poison gas on Kurdish people and used Zyklon B filled rockets (yes, same gas like in Ausschwitz) to attack Israel. Hussein occupied Kuwait and attacked Saudi - Arabia. There is no remotely similar thing the Ukraine goverment did in the past.
- za3faran 3y agoLots of these are paper arguments. Yeah so Iraq was not "annexed", but the west installed a puppet government to do what they want, and they attempted to brainwash the population with western values. They did the same in Afghanistan, but fortunately they failed miserably and left in a humiliated manner. Maybe the kidnapping wasn't as bad as ukraine, but the hundreds of thousands killed and millions displaced and sick and poor and left without anything would like to have a word with you. I'm not defending Saddam's atrocities, but let's not pretend that the US didn't nuke Japan or use napalm in Vietnam. Fact of the matter is that the western hypocrisy is now more exposed than ever. You think they really care about Ukraine? All they see is more room to expand their influence and power in the globe.
- 0xDEF 3y ago>Iraq was not "annexed", but the west installed a puppet government to do what they want, and they attempted to brainwash the population with western values. This is a lie. There was a legitimate democratic election in Iraq in January 2005 with 58% voter turnout. Because of the Shia majority of Iraq they voted into power a pro-Iranian Shia-dominated government which is the very opposite of a US "puppet government".
- za3faran 3y agoIf you believe that the west didn't have a hand in the outcome, I have a bridge to sell you. Plus, we don't believe in western style democracy in our tradition, so further proof of western destruction and meddling in other countries' affairs. Quite the hypocrisy when they do it themselves but then cry when another power like Russia does it (and I don't condone what is happening in Ukraine either, but the hypocrisy must be pointed out).
- snowpid 3y agoCan you elaborate how a pro Iranian government is a Western puppet government? With credible sources etc.? Also I like to know who is "we".
- za3faran 3y agoWikipedia states: "al-Maliki worked closely with the Multi-National Force (MNF–I), and continued to cooperate with the United States following the withdrawal from Iraq." And "we" as in Muslims.
- snowpid 3y agoThis is not a puppet goverment. And interestingly "we" excludes parts of Iraque society, namely Christians and Yazidis. Also ask your local Kurdish (mostly Muslims) people what they think about Hussein. You will be surprised ;)
