I don't care what the fuck they do. They invaded the country my family is from and over a million people are now dead that would otherwise not be including some of my family.

Question, what was your family doing when Saddam Hussein was in power? Were you guys involved with killing Iraqis?

They were selling carpets you asshole. Saddam Hussein was terrible person but having the Americans come and destroy the country for generations was worse in every way. The US has no right to go there and destroy the country. No one wanted them to and they didn't fucking help.
