Fortunately I do not know anyone who died during the Iraq invasion ... for resources/national interests/oil but I do remember reading that over 30 percent of their population was displaced, probably more and not sure how many were killed.
Not sure if anyone here remembers someone that was posting and relayed here, supposedly a younger woman from Bagdad, who once said ...today is better than tomorrow. That line always stuck with me.
Nobody is perfect, nor is any country, it has been that way for centuries and unfortunately only getting worse as we now fight for rare earth minerals and now water in some parts of the world.
