Laos holds a world record: the most bombed country in the world. There are still 80 million bomblets that never went off remain live, buried over 35% of land area of Laos, by more than 580,000 air missions by the USA on Laos between 1964 and 1973 during the Vietnam War. A staggering 270 million bomblets were dropped in a country with a population of 2.5 million, to blanket a huge buffer zone to prevent weaponries to reach Vietnam. By 1975, 1/10th of Laos population was killed, 1/5th of the population wounded. Many Americans don’t even know about this war.

It gives the illusion of a civil society that ordinary people can discuss the issue, but if you look at the outcomes, of all these "analysis", it changes absolutely N0THING , and here we are in 2023 it's the same with ukr, soon Taiwan, Iran, and elsewhere.

Aye. March 19 marks 15 years since the U.S.-UK invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the American people have no idea of the enormity of the calamity the invasion unleashed. The U.S. military has refused to keep a tally of Iraqi deaths. General Tommy Franks, the man in charge of the initial invasion, bluntly told reporters, “We don’t do body counts.” One survey found that most Americans thought Iraqi deaths were in the tens of thousands. But our calculations, using the best information available, show a catastrophic estimate of 2.4 million Iraqi deaths since the 2003 invasion. Source Davidswanson warlist The millitary is America’s biggest jobs program. The idea isn’t about protecting people, but protecting corporate interests in dominating foreign resources and economies. The goal isn’t to end wars, but to keep the wars ongoing as long as possible and as profitable as possible. -FRISHR

A survey conducted between March 22 and April 9, 2004 showed Iraqis believed the invasion was "worth it" for ousting Saddam by a margin of more than 2 to 1. It wasn't until mid-2006 when sectarian violence kicked into high gear that they changed their tune. They mass murdered each other, blamed Americans, and then claimed they never wanted to be liberated.

I thought how it went was Iraq had very little oil and resources compared to other petro states and Hussein believed they were intentionally plummeting the cost of oil to ruin Iraq's economy; so, he used that as an excuse to invade Kuwait and take control of their oil fields as well as their coastline. As a result, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, etc., asked the U.S. for help to depose Hussein as he literally invaded another sovereign nation for oil. Is that not what happened? I'm genuinely asking cos it seems like everyone pins America as a war-hungry oil-hungry nation that just invades for oil, but from what I know, that's literally what Iraq did. Like I'm not trying to start a fight here or anything I just genuinely don't understand what's going on.

March 19 marks 15 years since the U.S.-UK invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the American people have no idea of the enormity of the calamity the invasion unleashed. The U.S. military has refused to keep a tally of Iraqi deaths. General Tommy Franks, the man in charge of the initial invasion, bluntly told reporters, “We don’t do body counts.” One survey found that most Americans thought Iraqi deaths were in the tens of thousands. But our calculations, using the best information available, show a catastrophic estimate of 2.4 million Iraqi deaths since the 2003 invasion. Source Davidswanson warlist The millitary is America’s biggest jobs program. The idea isn’t about protecting people, but protecting corporate interests in dominating foreign resources and economies. The goal isn’t to end wars, but to keep the wars ongoing as long as possible and as profitable as possible. -FRISHR

So while some of this I know because I was aware of some of this because of what little the media shared, I'm glad that this video really helped clarify on what has happened in Iraq since Saddam was removed from power. I do feel that the country could have become more stable from within if our leaders would've helped to setup their new govt in a better way, but I believe that our flawed political system helped to create ISIS. Its sad that the country has become much worse due to our country's latest fouls up (ie surrendering the weapons) in order to encourage power over its people and therefore greed has become more prevalent in recent history.

Allah put someone become a leader is 1 of our faith qada n qadar Allah can even put someone like firaun n nimrod. But to replace a muslim to kuffar is a serious matter.

as someone who has filmed in Iraq twice, Saddam's legacy is mixed, the Sunnis and Christians miss him, the Kurds and some Shiites are glad that he's gone, at the very least Saddam kept things more centralized and in order

Why does al Jazeera say that saddam was cruel? Iraqis had enjoyed their lives during saddam rule. Not only Iraqis but many Indians had worked in Iraq then which really helped many down trodden Indian families

The report is just a sham of key takeaways. The underlying message is that it wasn't America's fault. It had all the good intentions but did tiny mistakes here and there. The Iraqis and the sectarian divide of Iraq is to blame.

Depends on if you were a Ba'athist, or the rest of the people, who constantly feared genocide like the Kurds, or having their whole family being fed into a wood chipper as Saddam watched. Whatever chaos exists today, it beats living in silent fear for your life.

They already have the oil they wanted. The post-Saddam government opened up the oil industry to private investors, and if there's one thing investors like it's political stability. If you think anyone wants chaos (aside from terrorists), you need to sharpen those critical thinking skills.
