Well I just did so you don't need to worry.

I'll say it again.

The USA supports a state that systematically marginalises and oppresses a significant population.

Sure.. but your original statement doesn't say anything like that.

And I think your narrative of history isn't correct. The US and France didn't decide Iraq were in the wrong. They decided Iraq were no longer acting in their interests.

If Kuwait weren't in control of as much oil as they were I'm pretty sure the US wouldn't have lifted a finger.
