The official 2002 Congress authorization for the use of military force against Iraq specifically mentions that the USA is just defending itself because Iraq attempted to assassinate the President of the United States of America in 1993 and they harbored Al Qaeda, who commited September 11 attacks. Are these claims based on truth?

    Materially it would be beneficial for Iraq if America ceased to exist or was heavily destabilized, sure, but assassinating Bush wouldn’t accomplish that, as the VP would just take his place

    Do you have anything where I can read more analysis about what exactly and how beneficial certain actions would be for Iraq? Is there even such an analysis?

      No, I don’t. Maybe someone has written about it, though. But shouldn’t the analysis be obvious? America and American hegemony are detrimental to every country that’s not a part of the imperial core. They would all be better off in an America-less world.
