Bush Didn't Invade Iraq As Fear Reaction Of 9/11 But As A Reaction To 70s Oil Crisis

[Mesopotamian]

The American intervention in the Middle East as I've recently read hasn't begun with Bush invading Iraq in 2003, and there were many attempts to manipulate Iraq, for example supporting the continuation of the Iraqi-Iranian war in the 80s.

It makes more sense that some super power would come and anchor itself in the Middle East post the oil crisis in the seventies.

The objective was and still to avoid such crisis from ever happening again, and if you were in Bush's shoes, and you have the world's most powerful army under your command, and you are from Texas, with a spirit of a cowboy, and also probably involved in the oil industry, you'll find it hard to resist the temptation to intervene and oust Saddam Hussein's regime, and especially after the hit at 9/11.

America is at the cutting edge in governmental development, and you can't compare it to any other country in the world. The American have refined this modern governance system over the course of the republic's life, and to be attacked at 9/11 was yet another wake up call, a call to exert more power over the world, especially those countries who are trouble makers, and who are unable to go with the flow, and adopt stage-orange values.

You cannot compare the governance in the US with the governance systems in the Scandinavian countries, the latter wouldn't be possible without the American dominance over the world, an anomaly that only made possible because of the help and support from the United State's governments post World-War II. It's not realistic to start to draw comparisons in this regards, it is as absurd as comparing the achievement of an artist in a peace time with the achievement of his grandfather who was in a bloody war and shot and killed tens of people.

Probably the governments of the Scandinavian countries are only a demo of what governments can be probably hundreds of years in the future.

Iraq isn't even a country, and everything is bestowed on it, the border, the governance system, even our laws are copied mostly from the UK. The Iraqi people haven't invented the oil, so it is not their oil. It is humanity's oil. And people who say that this or that shouldn't have happened, they are just immersed in wishful thinning.
