Geez, what a surprise. A Moslem winning in a Moslem country.
We created many more Muslim nations with the Iraq disaster.
Peach,
I am actually not aware of any new Muslim nations created by the Iraq war.
But we did change the course of history, I think, and not for the better. We set into action events we cannot control, and we cannot even see all of the consequences of that war. They are still unfolding before us.
We caused the deaths of over 1 million human beings in Iraq, this is one consequence of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq.
And, further, what we did, by setting up a democracy in Iraq, is insure the Shiites would be in power in Iraq, they are the majority in Iraq. And as Iran is a Shiite nation, the ties between Iran and Iraq have grown stronger, and grow stronger every day.
Before the Iraq War, Iran and Iraq were enemies, they fought a bloody 8 year war with one another. My husband grew up in Iran and fought in that war on the side of Iran for two years. He carried supplies to the front lines, like ammunition from Israel.
