You see the same thing today, however, you can can not contradict the US. The US pushed policies and laws that protect its interests, not the Iraqis interests. Such as? The Iraqis wrote their own constitution, designed their own government, elected its members themselves, and have since enacted whatever laws they wanted. Which part of that (all done by Iraqis) was not in Iraqi interest, but instead was in US interest? You seem to be equating "the US remains in Iraq" with "the US controls politics in Iraq". They are not the same. The first is a fact, the second is your mistaken assumption. Exactly which laws have been approved (by the elected Iraqi government) that are in US interest and against Iraqi interest? An outsider casting judgment on a situation that you have no interest in. Saying that people are responsible for the decisions that they make in life is not a judgement of mine. It's a commonly accepted principle for anyone who accepts the idea of personal responsibility.
