i feel like most people don't even know about this, or if they do know about this, they haven't really thought about it.
The US invested (stole from taxpayers/borrowed from China) 700 million dollars (given to one of their buddies' construction companies) and built the brand-spanking new (most disgusting blemish on middle eastern soil) US embassy in Iraq. Located downtown next the the Tigris River(prime real estate) occupying acre after acre of land (after multiple neighborhoods had to be destroyed), the US has built a city within a city, as a way of showing Iraqis "Hey, we are in this together."(Fuck you Iraq, you are never getting rid of us and our bullshit).
You know, I am really impressed with the US. Somehow, even though Iraqis have very little access to water, food, basic necessities, the US still rolls in and installs the largest swimming pool in the Middle East, some bowling alleys, a cinema, heli pads, snack shops, luxury suites, etc. for all of the rich American douchebags who run our country and are driven by their greed and self-righteousness. It was them who were lining their pockets with money from government contracts when they never delivered what they promised to the Iraqi people. Yeah let's go ruin this country's entire infrastructure, not rebuild it, and expect them to like us. It makes so much sense. Bush is either the DUMBEST president ever, or he was the most evil president ever. He can only be those two things. How can a man, who has traveled around the world, talked to people of many different colors, cultures, religions, worldviews, be so incredibly close-minded as to think that this was a good idea? or he did it on purpose, to show that America can do whatever it wants because half of the people back home will support anything that is twisted and turned to sound "American." Dumb or evil, pick one. this is the main example of why the US government is bullshit and I will never trust them with anything.
I've never seen a country "liberate" another country like we did. It's almost like we didn't liberate them at all, it's almost as if...we totally fucked them over

elementary brainwashings
so I am not sure if they still teach this today, but I distinctly remember, in grades 1 through 4, being told over and over again that America is the only free country on earth, and how lucky we are to live here. now it took me a few child years to figure out that that is just not true at all. how can you teach that to little kids? well, it may have had to do with the fact that I attended the most brainwashingest bible-beatingest kind-of-scary-if-you-actually-think-about-it schools around. i mean, quite a few of these people were seriously delusional. so they tried, and succeeded for a number of years, in telling me that no other country on earth is free like the United States of America. they also told me that everyone I loved was going to die a fiery death in depths of hell, so i don't think that tact was one of their strong points. however they did get a couple of us to detroy our Bush (the band, not the disgraced world leader) CD's. which in retrospect was actually a good thing. although, i will give credit where credit is due, because in the mid 90's Bush (the band, not the joke of a president) was at the forefront of alt rock. does anyone even say "alt rock" anymore?
