Ok again I have agreed America made past mistakes only thing I said was Shias today are better off.
And I highlighted that if this were the case, it would stem merely from active efforts to neutralize Washington's agenda for Iraq.
Because the USA regime is directly and indirectly responsible for over 2 million Iraqi deaths from the 1990's when it spearheaded the imposition of the cruel UN sanctions on Iraq, to the illegal invasion of 2003 with its catastrophic consequences. Of those >2 million Iraqis killed off as a result of USA policy, most were Shia Moslems.
Which is far worse than whatever Saddam's regime, for all its brutality, managed to inflict upon Iraqis, Shia Moslems and others alike.
And those weren't mistakes by the USA regime, they were deliberate policies designed to wreck havoc on a nation.
But if we really want to go there we can talk about Yemen how Saudi Arabia and Iran are using it as their own personal battlefield how Saudi and Iranian weapons are causing death and destruction how instead of solving issues politically both sides are letting Yemen just go to waste, yes I know you will come with some long long long why Iran is only just trying to help an oppressed people.
So defending oneself against unprovoked military aggression / occupation makes the defending party and its backers responsible for the ensuing conflict?
This brief response is largely enough.
My point from almost the age of time people will make excuses for war.
Aggressors will search for pretexts, yes. Like the USA regime when it illegally assaulted Iraq in 2003. Like the Saudis when they started to bomb Yemen.
Those exercising their right to legitimate defence against foreign military aggression, have no need for such rhetoric stratagems.
Only thing I’m saying prior past issues Shias in Iraq are better off and sorry with the help and sometimes ill intervention off both sides.
The only thing Shia Iraqis got from USA intervention in their country's affairs is destruction, mayhem and social disruption.
