Iraq - what were we fighting for? absolutely nothing

(BAGHDAD) — After nearly nine years, 4,500 American dead, 32,000 wounded and more than $800 billion, U.S. officials formally shut down the war in Iraq — a conflict that U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said was worth the price in blood and money, as it set Iraq on a path to democracy. - Time.com

How many 911 terrorist were from Iraq?
Was it Saddam or Admadinejad who was a greater threat to the world?

When the U.S. pulls out, won't Islam take over?

Isn't Arab Spring uprisings happening mostly in nations not controlled by the Islamic Muslims?
Dosen't a Democracy usually become a mob rule that ends in Socialism or dictatorships?

Doesn't the spread of Islam insures no other form of governments will be allowed in the Middle East?

So why was the U.S. Military in Iraq? Why did 4,500 americans die? Because they were pawns for the New World Order.
