    You didn’t read the article. It makes broad assertions about the US’s dealing in Iraq, calling it all atrocities. This is not good journalism.

      Janet Yellen said that the death of 500k Iraqi children was worth it to bring democracy to the region.

      The US uses white phosphorous munitions, which causes phosphorus to bind to human skin and mucus membranes and burn them to death.

      The US destroyed nearly all public facilities from water to hospitals to schools to sanitation to power.

      Maybe the bias is in your conception of what happened in Iraq and when an article comes along that contradicts the narrative you were indoctrinated with it causes tension. Try researching the actual history of the conflict. Maybe listen to the Blowback podcast that does a great deal of work making things like this accesible.

        To add on 6 years and they did absolutely nothing but destabilize a region that reinforced terrorism globally. 20 years and they replaced Taliban with Taliban. Osama dead but guess what? The passports from 9/11 came from the same exact entity that they have built an even stronger relationship with. If USA did anything its expend ammunition and kill a lot of people for a trillion dollar industry.

      Reminding people of the atrocities US regime has committed in Iraq at every opportunity is good journalism. You keep on seething and coping there though.

          US which committed mass atrocities in the country when it invaded back in 2004 after leading the campaign for its besiegement for more than a decade.

          These are just plain facts buddy. The only propagandist tool here is yourself.
