As far as I can see Iraq is not a hellhole of any sort. It is a bit unstable but it is quite peaceful now and rebuilding has begun.
And “what has happened” has shown that overall America is well-meaning and most of the time has improved the human condition.
Well you’re refusing to recognise the effects of the Surge and continuing in your rambling about how America is “evil”.
Pure nonsense. We’ve funded death squads, dictators, promoted torture, fought against abortion, screwed over nations economically, and in general worked hard to make the world worse.
We overthrew and fought against many other tyrannies and dictatorships and American economic policy has caused economic miracles in East Asia and Europe.
:rolleyes: Please. We installed plenty of dictators, funded them, armed them, trained their death squads in torture techniques, even turned back refugees that were fleeing from the monsters we created. And our economic policies have spread misery and poverty across the world.

This part really stood out to me:
Occupying governments like America infuriate and anger me. How harsh hearted and criminals are they! Then make the nations their guinea pigs. They expose them to violence, killing, hunger, poverty and disease. Then they decide to stop the fight to serve their strategic interest and send humanitarian organizations like USAID, UNPD from the United Nations to fund and manage the building of democracy and transparent free elections, train workers in these institutions, train the army, police, lawmakers, judges, and parliaments to build strong state institutions. I stand appalled with those hypocrites, double faced people who measure with different weights?
They themselves carry out ugly crimes against humanity. They present themselves as builders of human civilization and stable dignified life to human beings. This is the case of someone with no religion and who doesn’t believe in God and fear Him. This is the case of someone who sells himself to the devil and thinks that he is Faro as he said to the Israelis: “I am your Al Mighty God”, killing their children, rape their women, thinks that he can cause people to die or live and thinks that he is doing them a favor.
May Allah save Iraq from this predicament very soon! And may Iraqis go back to build a safe and stable country free of the occupation and the interference of neighboring countries. Amen.
You mean the economic policies that resulted in the Marshall Plan, the rise of the East Asian Tigers, and China?
I am torn on whether we are the good guys or the bad guys. I think they may turn us to Islam before we ever turn them to Capitalism. I don’t see an end in sight to this war.
This is a good article on Islam being The Trojan Horse.
Laughable.
