We sent a gorilla into Iraq, ISIS is one of the shards of broken crockery that resulted in the region. We are fucking responsible.
Not at all. America didn't loose the gorilla in the china shop. America was the one that set up the china shop in the first place.
The gorilla was sent in by Iraq's neighbors (Saudis, Syria and Iran) who did not want the china shop to succeed and become a flourishing business.
This is a much more accurate parable.
Your apologetic s for the Bush regimes stupidity and reckless American interventionism is sad
Quote:If the goal was a puppet regime why isn't democratic Iraq a puppet state now? As soon as Iraq got its first elected government it became cozy with Iran, America's greatest nemesis in the region. America was always frustrated by the elected governments of Iraq because they were giving a free hand to Iran to come in and do what they want. Naturally America would have expected the Iraqis to share their interests and be closer to them, after all America was the one that gifted them democracy. But America never forced Iraq to become its puppet, America got very little out of the Iraq war for itself. It truly was a selfless act even if the motive was not 100% pure. The result is what matters.Simple America overestimated it's ability to insert puppets and no if they expected that they were fools and no Democracy is not a gift only American arrogance would assume this and America got plenty for the war and it was in no way a selfless act . Your nativity is hilarious .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
