Why we are supporting Iraq when Iraq have enough money to buy half of the united states?

Question

Why we are supporting rich countries that have plentiful of money when our economy is crashing?

Answer 1

Because Iraq has suffered under the rule of Saddam...  It is a fledgling democracy and needs our support.  

Sure this is hard work, and is costing us blood and treasure, but they don't call us the "Land of the free, home of the brave" for nothing.

And to give up before the job is done would mean all we have spent (blood and treasure) so far would have been in vein.  All of our fallen soldiers deserve more.  They deserve the title "Land of the free, home of the brave"

Answer 2

They didn't come to us. We were tied together economically from the get go. The start being the Iraq war that we voted for by less than a majority mind you. I think it was 46 percent voted yes.

Answer 3

Supporting Iraq?  The friggin' Yanks are destroying it.  What 'we' are you part of?
