If you care about the middle east blame Obama/Clinton/Bush who started one war after another - from Iraq to Syria.

The oil is currently funding ISIS, so keep it away from them is a good idea.

US taxpayers spent $60 billion in reconstruction grants to Iraq - the question if Iraq should pay back some of it is a valid one, even if there is no clear answer considering the legitimacy of the Iraq War.

To date, the U.S. has spent more than $60 billion in reconstruction grants to help Iraq get back on its feet after the country was broken by more than two decades of war, sanctions and dictatorship. That works out to about $15 million a day.

I wonder how much of that damage was caused by the US though.

 

Not only will we give you democracy, but we'll make you pay it back too.
