March 20, 2003, the United States began bombing Baghdad, calling for the start of the Iraq War.
By the end of the war, ~1 million innocent Iraqi civilians were killed, ~3.3 million Iraqi civilians were displaced.

disgusting

how is it illegal lmao

or
Congress is the only body that can legally declare war, which it has not done since WWII. So using this strict definition of war, our actions in Iraq (and Afghanistan) cannot legally be called a war.

Everything America did in Iraq would suggest it was indeed a war but to avoid literally using the world they say combat operations.

• Violation Of International Sovereignty (especially under false pretense)
• Funded literal terrorist

3rd reply and thread is already on that time. Impressive tbh

They were left burning, fat dripping from the back, pooling and coagulating on the road and sand.

Anniversary should only be used in positive time gaps

Crazy how nearly 20 years later we still have troops over there.

War without end.

We did not torture and we do not hesitate to do it again

Mission accomplished

United States and US citizens disgusts me

how they all cool w their government f***ing up all the world lol

dude sonned him at the end

US public didnt support the war

It's why you got all those libertarians around 2008 complaining their taxes were used to bomb brown kids

pretty bush won 2004 on backing of iraq war

F*** THE US MAY THEY ALL BURN IN HELL

they have the right to protest lol

are you telling me i shouldnt blame the society at all? lmfao they been cool with it for 2 decades now, something could be done but yall just memeing instead

Yeah bro, all 300 million of us got a share of that Haliburton cash

It wasnt his sole reason for victory at all

People were obviously blinded by the fact that the United States was attacked and thousands of people died. Not saying I agree with the war but I distinctly remember people being afraid to go literally anywhere after 9/11 so it’s pretty easy to understand why everyone was up in arms given the context of the situation

this. there were definitely people outspoken about the war, but the majority, especially in nyc, was at least somewhat supportive of it

i got let out of school early that day and remember seeing mad military on the BQE with assault rifles just standing there when i was walking home

imagine seeing that, knowing people that died in there, seeing the smoke from the towers invade your neighborhood

we were all ready to get in there and take them out

the probably wasn’t retaliating, the problem was we went after the wrong people and completely failed at our mission of stopping terrorism. we made it worse

u r a part of the problem if this justifies any of this ''legal'' terrorism

That's a bad perspective to have, by your logic ppl of china, UK, Russia and iran should disgust you too. And there you go you now hate half the planet... congratulations you played yourself

Majority of ppl are held hostage and not responsible for their government's doings.. ppl get brainwashed by govt propoganda.. instead of spreading hate we need to educate

Innocent people died here too i literally just said that I didn’t support the war in retrospect
