That is putting it mildly. Secular Iraq had a relatively high standard of living 25 years ago with a large middle class. Now the country has been all but wrecked and the middle class has virtually disappeared. Israel is the only nation to really benefit from this. A strong, independent Iraq would have been an obstacle to their lust for total domination of the Mideast. US Iraq policy has been a disaster for the Iraq people and probably will turn out to be a disaster for the US as well. But it has been a bonanza for Israel.
