  So the US supports evil dictators? Oh lard... /s
context: How do you liberate a town of ten thousand when you destroy every building? >
  
  Eh,  the us said we liberated Iraq. 2 decades later and the country is still worse off than under Saddam,  and that’s saying something. >
  
  The US in Iraq and what is happening in Ukraine are 2 completely different things. Russia is in Ukraine claiming to “liberate” different regions in an effort to make that territory a part of Russia while the U.S. removed an oppressive Dictator for power.
  I’m not saying we made Iraq a better place because we didn’t but by definition we did infact liberate Iraq from a regime that the people of Iraq wanted to be liberated from. It’s a case of Be Careful what you wish for.
  Still, the 2 situations are 2 completely different things. >
  
  Dude... Saddam was a friend of the US until he wasn't.
  And some say the idiot asked if he could take Kuwait and the US said "YES". >
  
  No, Saddam was an enemy of Iran until he wasn't; that's the only reason the U.S. supported him for a time.
  Noriega was a friend (and puppet) of the U.S. until he wasn't.
