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.

"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."

I can't honestly read that and take your seriously. First of all, it's not a question to Trump anymore. Second of all, you left no room for debate with that kind of statement. The war was started by the US, it was based on fabricated LIES, it was overwhelmingly opposed by the international communities, it broke the international law, hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed, millions fled their homes, more importantly, the war started a devestating chain reaction that Iraqis are suffering because of it until this day. But non of that matters in this discussion because?? because it could be as a valid objection to the point you are making. 

Thank you Trump for exposing the idiocy everywhere.
