I would say /pol/ , but lets be honest, /k/ is better for political conversation

It's a shitty situation all around, do you want the potential for either A. Islamist group or B. Iranian influence (even though it would likely be both). DESU i feel for those people, they've put up with so much shit that didn't need to happen then it did and even worse decisions were made. I had an Uber driver from Iraq a few weeks ago, he says that most Iraqis don't really blame Americans or hold them in a bad light, kinda like the Vietnamese.

Iraq would be more stable and ISIS wouldn't not been able to get a strangle hold on Iraq. Might've also prevented or at the very least slowed the domino effect that was Arab Spring.
gotta love the hilariously thorough dicking the Iraqis got in Desert Storm.
Yes, Sadam was a good leader who would've been a much better alternative to what we have now. All of the Arabian countries outside of a few are meme countries and Sadam created a way for them to have an actual national identity and was secular enough to prevent a lot of autism. Inb4 he gassed kurds so he was had for Iraq as a whole.

Nearly every war the US has been in since ww2 was for some greedy purposes, be it land grabbing, satellite making, or for ending self determination.

Saddam had created a rather powerful country by the late 1980s in the Middle East that was not Isr**l, so the US had to dismantle that. In fact, to protect all of its client states in the region from there being a real regional power there
>Middle Eastern country ran by a dictatorship that reflects the native religion and traditions of that country
What's wrong with this again?
