      1.5 million dead Iraqis, infrastructure is worse than it was before the war. The US invasion was one of the worst possible ends to Saddam’s reign.

      I mean they have elections, but so does Russia, do you consider Russia to be a democracy?

      US puppet regimes always put on a flimsy facade of “democracy” and “freedom” but it is pure naivete to think that’s what anyone in charge actually cares about.

        Well Iraq is not a puppet state though. If anything they are a democracy that has connections with Iran. So the United States doesn’t even meddle with it! It’s free to do as people see fit as long as they call the Constitution
