This happens far too often in Africa and we did nothing.
Remember Iraq was the "hey let's kill anyone for 9/11" and all the teenagers rushed to sign-up (and then got stop-lossed for years as a thank you).
We had insanely selective justification while ignoring everything else. To rewrite what we did to Iraq as anything less than horrible is a massive lie.
Saddam was US BACKED ! like Castillo , Pinochet , Palavi and countless others , armed and supported for YEARS by USA ! there is even a footage with Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam.
And you wonder why people hate you all over the arab world ? your only strenght is fear, you definetly lost the cultural battle there.
The war in Iraq killed far more iraqis than Saddam ever did, and i'm not even talking about the 1 millions children that died during the oil for food program.
And yes ,they still call you the "great Satan" there. Ironic isnt it ?
