    What the fuck are you talking about? The first war was over the invasion of Kuwait. The second war was to steal oil. At no time did we attack to prevent Sadam from rebuilding.

      “half a million iraqi children” is a reference to the sanctions in the 90s that were explicitly a punishment meant to prevent iraq from rebuilding post gulf war

      You’re somewhat agreeing - by preventing rebuilding, it becomes a lot easier to build/steal a country’s oil refineries. You already admit one invasion was over oil - Surely you can see how invading a country and killing tens/hundreds of thousands of civilians just to steal oil is ‘extrajudicial’ killing?
