Iraqi here!, I can confirm that people were optimistic of the invasion in the first 3 years or so in the hope that Americans would help iraq to re-establish itself thinking they would be a second Germany or Japan, then it all came crushing down with the civil war in 2006. Where America is now considered the evil that holds Iraq from moving in the right direction, and so began 20 years of destruction.
Edit: sorry for the typo.
No, silly. Those countries were peers that had a chance of destroying us. It was in our best interest to make sure they viewed us as friendly from there on. Your country was a proxy colony, and that means you get jack while we take all your things /s
Gods I hate colonial thinking. From America especially, but in general as well.
