In the end Iraq is doing better today than it has in the last 150 years. It was a bumpy road, but the people are living in peace without fear for the first time in their lives.

Huh? How was iraq doing before the uk decided they owned the place during wwI? How will Iraq do if it's gov ever decides to take a position that is contrary to the US or if they try to nationalize their oil fields and take the profits away from Western oil companies?

What do you mean? Iraq's doing quite good. The government is functioning, the United States has invested a lot to rebuild what was lost. It's still at a level four don't travel rule because of Syria and Iran, but it's on track for full recovery in five years.
