Yeah because wanting basic human rights is just something "the West" wants

Do people really have to say that jokes about war which inevitably lead to the death of many in order to have bigger and better phone batteries at a reduced cost is sickening?
You can't fix the problem by not talking about it. It wasn't an unfortunate natural disaster.
You're trying to portray people that joke about war as though they are trying to bring a thoughtful discussion. They aren't and you aren't being helpful by muddying the discussion by presenting them as such.

I don't see how this is a strong argument. You could just as easily make the same counter claim about Norway, both rich in minerals, oil and gas.

I disagree. I think you are close to the truth, but Iraq war was not seen in a very negative light by US citizens, or people in EU for that matter. Which was what media pushed.

Somebody in the thread may want to argue that the war was a good or necessary thing, somebody will say otherwise and maybe the first one will check Wikipedia, and learn new facts that may change his mind in t…
What? Only the most disgusting racists were "ok" with the invasion of Iraq, for the sole reason it made brown muslims people hurt
All polls closely prior to the attack on Iraq show 55-67% US public support.

The degree to which we’ve been blessed with resources and opportunity to do the right thing (and have consistently chosen to do the dumb thing) never fails to amaze me. Infinite power from the sky that’s cheaper than fossil fuels; vast reserves of lithium to help oil-producing nations smoothly transition us away from oil; huge and unusually-enriched Uranium deposits we could use to build power (but instead used to bu…
