iraq.. not so much. saddam was a brutal, genocidal dictator - no doubt about that. his involvement as a threat to american lives, however, was nonexistent. he was actually our BFF during iran contra and we funded and weaponized iraq as a means to keep revolutionary iran in check.

stop talking?

yeah I dont know what im talking about, but syria... thats something else lol
