The biggest mistake in US history?Created and left behind.
The Iraq We Left Behind
"Nine years after U.S. troops toppled Saddam Hussein and just a few months after the last U.S. soldier left Iraq, the country has become something close to a failed state.
"Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki presides over a system rife with corruption and brutality, in which political leaders use security forces and militias to repress enemies and intimidate the general population.
"The law exists as a weapon to be wielded against rivals and to hide the misdeeds of allies.
"The dream of an Iraq governed by elected leaders answerable to the people is rapidly fading away."
Capitalism strikes again.
