And Iraq was backed by the US before this. This is what I mean by central planning. Trying to manipulate the whole globe. To make into western democracy. Its absurdly arrogant.
I was going to mention that, too. Even if Iraq had a large military, they were basically a US vassal state. Simultaneously losing support from and being attacked by the US was something they were wholly unprepared for.

On days when I'm feeling less charitable and maybe haven't prayed... I wanna say... wow, are people this naive and dumb? Why do they believe liars over and over again? But that's not fair. Most people don't pay attention. They live their lives and just want to keep a little of what they earn. They are abused and manipulated by masters in this arena.
