America’s legacy in Iraq?

'Some die at work': The appalling conditions of Iraq's child labourers

That's not our legacy. Just like in Afghanistan, we cut those fools free and that's the direction they chose to run in.

Nah, it is America’s legacy. U.S. interventions have typically left countries more crippled than they would’ve been had they been left alone.

But this is the nature of imperialism, you saying people “chose to run” in a certain direction as if their very pathways aren’t predetermined by machinations of a parasitic global order says a lot.

Imagine blaming the Iraqis for their situation

That’s like what white supremacists do here at home to black people

Was it? Saddam was a dictator but Iraq was much more stable than it’s been ever since.

America’s destructive presence in the region since the Cold War has guided the paths of many of those nations towards less positive outcomes whether it’s an apartheid state in Israel, authoritarian states in the Gulf like Saudi Arabia and UAE, and politically fragile, bombed out states like Yemen and Afghanistan. In most instances, America/Europe is a common denominator.

What?

The fall of the Ottoman Empire, which constrained most of these areas, by internal feuds destabilized the area over a century before America was a power.

None of those states were in some positive trajectory.

Israel/Palestine were already at war before America became a super power because of British negligence.

Unfortunately the legacy of European imperialism was already stinking up those places before America was even out of its own Civil War.
