Isn't the USA on reasonably good terms with Iraq though, all things considered?
Oh yeah Iraq loves the USA, I mean they only bombed and murdered their innocent family members for 20 years.
"why do they hate us?"
That's far better than most countries they've recently been to war with.
Iraq is friendly with Iran.
Maybe if they finished killing off every Iraqi and moved Floridians and New Yorkers a la Israel, lol. Or if they brainwashed them to be in good terms with these global murderous rapists. But if not I assume they're all chanting "death to America", or at least they should.
After the Iraq invasion, the US wanted to remove all people who were related to the Saddam regime from the government. These people were mostly sunni muslims.
That meant that the shia minority was given control of the Iraqi government. These people were friendly or connected to Iran(which is also shia).
Backwards. Shia are the majority. Power was mostly in sunni hands specifically because Saddam wanted to stamp out Iranian influence.
You are right, my bad.
