Why do Iraqi people not want to admit they themselves are responsible for the mess we have got them into?

Question

All these efforts and we gave them democracy and they keep on fighting us and each other, making it difficult for me to buy gas for my V-8 SUV... How ungrateful!

Answer 1

lmao, I love your snark :-)

I know what you mean, you would think after all the trouble we went to putting Saddam in power :

And then after we were kind enough to sell both Iraq and Iran arms and WMDs during the Iran/Iraq war:

Look at how we bravely defended our Iraqi brethren AFTER Saddam gassed the Kurds by continuing our diplomatic relations with Saddam:

Those ungrateful Iraqis could at least say "thank you" for the decade of sanctions we imposed upon the country because our puppet dictator was no longer friendly to our interests:

And at long last we give them the gift of freedom by removing the tyrant that we installed and gutting civilian infrastructure, disolving the military and appointing criminals to our new puppet Iraqi congress:

I mean really, is a simple 'thank you' too much to ask??

Answer 2

You must be a liberal.

Liberals always want to find fault in others and are always the first to place blame and demand an apology.

Truthfully, you have no clue what the Iraqi people think or feel, and it's really dishonest and mean for you to pretend that you do and demean them based on your own self-induced illusion.

For the most part, Iraqi's are living in peace. There are only a few hot spots left, and they're getting smaller as time passes.

Answer 3

I don't quite understand,,they need to admit it's thier fault that WE got them in a mess. Thats like saying it's my fault you set my house on fire. I don't get your reasoning.

Answer 4

You might want to look at the phrasing of your question. **They** are "responsible" for the mess **we** got them into. That's like me blaming you if I spill the milk.

Answer 5

It's much easier to blame someone else for your problems and to sit on your butt and do nothing to change your situation.

Answer 6

Wow, sarcasm from a liberal. They are as responsible for their problems as you are for yours.
