How come we never really colonized Iraq?
Like I think maybe we can improve it, you know?? Smooth out the rough edges?
No, not kill people. Of course not.

Like imagine how wonderful it would be to have some gorgeous hotels and casinos in the banks of the Euphrates, imagine us recreating the beauty of Babylon.
Even Alexander fell in love with Babylonia.
Im sure our Saudi friends would totally support us since they would love to go there. We could also totally revamp the coast on the Persian gulf and have it be like our very own little Dubai.

Our mission was not imperialism - our mission was to eliminate a despot who had dreams of controlling the world's oil supply. He was preparing to invade Saudi Arabia thereby controlling 45% of the world's oil supply.

That worked out so well in Iran and Saudi Arabia. These people have been fighting each other for more than 1000 years. The US should just leave them alone.
