How the US invasion shaped Iraq | Start Here

You should've mentioned that it's the US who supplied Saddam Hussein weapons to fight against Iran.

The world should held the US government accountable for war crimes and human rights violations.

As Iraqi myself living in Iraq I just stopped watching news and gave up the thing that bother me is that I am having a baby can't imagine how his future will be in this mess

As an American, I want to make clear, the actions of our government do not reflect the will of American people, but rather the will of those who held power. I can’t begin to explain the shame I feel for my country’s actions.

Laos holds a world record: the most bombed country in the world. There are still 80 million bomblets that never went off remain live, buried over 35% of land area of Laos, by more than 580,000 air missions by the USA on Laos between 1964 and 1973 during the Vietnam War. A staggering 270 million bomblets were dropped in a country with a population of 2.5 million, to blanket a huge buffer zone to prevent weaponries to reach Vietnam. By 1975, 1/10th of Laos population was killed, 1/5th of the population wounded. Many Americans don’t even know about this war.

George W. Bush, Tony Blair and John Howard should be held accountable.

There are still souls of children crying at the pain that they saw, and the evil that took their lives.

From Argentina, my sympathy for the brave and resilient Iraqi people. I was just a small boy when, while my brother celebrated his 17th birthday, I watched along with my now late paternal grandmother, the Shock & Awe operation in the bedroom. Even though I'm now 30 years old, the horror that began that day is difficult to describe. Best to Iraq. ❤

This video should have been titled "How the US destroyed Iraq"

Not directly related, but as a Vietnamese, I wonder when the US pays war compensation to Vietnamese people, especially the ones suffering Agent Orange (chemical weapons used by the US back then), despite after almost 50 years since the war. Anybody knows?

"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who aren't allowed to be criticized" - John F. Kennedy.

He was brutal indeed but atleast Iraqi people were living the life

This the freedom and democracy America talk about

My sincerest condolences to all the innocent people who got killed in so called war on terror... Justice would take time but it will be served for sure...

Thankyou for all the great journalism that you are doing.

Everyone talks about Russia’s military failure in Ukraine, but we also forget about America’s failure in Iraq and Afghanistan and the bravery of Iraqis and afghans.

the US and NATO states cry out for Russia's compensation to Ukraine but they forget what they did in other countries

Thank you for the video!

great report - thanks

As an American, I'm sorry for what my government has done to Iraq and I do agree those who committed war crimes and such should be prosecuted, but unfortunately that most likely won't ever happen. The 2nd Iraq War was a huge mistake.
