1. This has been going on for a long time now, with the Iraqis calling the government 'a puppet'

Since the 'puppet' government cracked down on peaceful protesters and shot to death several of them, simply for protesting, arrested hundreds, during the Arab Spring, I guess they discovered that the 'Democracy' we created was all a big, sad joke. So now the confrontations have become violent.

So a decade after our announcement to the world that we are bring 'democracy' to Iraq, things are worse for those people than they were under Saddam.

And we are about to bring 'democracy' to Syria. Libya isn't doing great either since we brought democracy to them.

Nor Afghanistan.

All those trillions of dollars wasted,, unless you are a Military Contractor or an Oil Corporation I guess.
