What lemmy thinks of Iraq? (lemmy.zip)

As an Iraqi, I do ask this question to myself a lot, what the world opinion on modern Iraq. It changed a lot especially after ISIS war, but people here generally don't value the change that much due to high unemployment rates, drought, and bossy militias.

There were plenty of us that saw right through the bullshit even before the war started but unfortunately because the SCOTUS decided the election for us we were stuck with a gang of money hungry pieces of shit... I mean we still are, but we were then too...

I was young and naive so I wanted to join the military in hopes of getting some technical skills, but even as a 17 year old idiot I saw right through bushs bullshit and said fuuuuccckkkkk that. Now I work in a factory... Fuck Bush, fuck Cheney, fuck Rumsfield... War criminals the lot of them.

To get to OPs question, in America I think we have a collective shame about it so it's pretty much never spoken about at all. The state of Iraq is only ever mentioned within the context of ISIS :(
