Conveniently forgot to mention the devastating effects of US's genocide of the Iraqi population, as another reason for delay?

As an Iranian I it warms my heart to finally see the cradle of civilization in our region prospor, Iraq deserves it. Shame on the US and the West for constantly meddling and dividing us all for hundreds of years. Better days are ahead for us all ❤

Minorities need to be protected. Kurds, Yezidi, Zoroastrians, Sufis, Arab Christians, Assyrians, etc.

Is there a question asking about Iraqi people’s opinion of George W. Bush?

For example; Would you want George W. Bush tried for war crimes?
Or
Would you throw a shoe at him if you saw him again?

Iraq needs strong benevolent Muslim leader to get things done. The representative democracy as a governmental system imposed by Western countries has often led to corruption, poverty, and ineffective governance. Iraq needs to free itself of Western influences.
