The 2003 Iraq invasion by George W. Bush has been one of the biggest foreign policy disasters in American history. We were told that we had to invade Iraq because Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and that we needed to bring freedom and democracy to the country.
Turns out that there were no weapons of mass destruction and that the people of Iraq don’t really give a shit about concepts like democracy. It was just another war to benefit Jews and Israel. Trillions of dollars have already been spent on this insanity.
But now with democracy in Iraq, one would think that the Iraqis would be happy about the United States liberating them and giving them freedom from the evil Saddam Hussein.
Not quite. Iraq just held elections and they voted for the bloc supported by anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr whose militia forces previously led uprisings against the American occupation.
Many Iraqis didn’t even bother to vote. Turnout was very low for this election as many Iraqis chose to protest the concept of democracy itself. But the ones who did participate voted against the American occupation by supporting al-Sadr.
Being that al-Sadr is a Shiite and opposed to America, it means that Iraq will only establish closer ties to Iran. One could also argue that al-Sadr is more anti-American than Hussein was. At one point, Hussein was an ally of the United States. He even met with Donald Rumsfeld back in the 1980s.
This just goes to show you that there’s all sorts of unintended consequences that arise from waging wars for Jews and Israel. It’s time for the United States to disengage from this region. Let Israel fend for itself and if these different sects of Moslems want to kill one another over sectarian disputes than let them do so.
