This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

His one job was to create profit for weapons manufacturers and he did that job very very well

His job was to do Israel’s bidding and remove Saddam.

Saddam and his family were genuinely awful, to be fair.

Yes, but that’s not really why they removed him.

Plenty of horrible people ruling countries that America has no interest in removing as it doesn’t suit their needs.

You're right, they don't go in and remove every dictator, and this one was because they had an ulterior motive.

Nonetheless, they did a good thing.

Yeah, like Russia...

I always say, I celebrate Saddam getting fucked hard while still realizing the whole thing was fucked up. Especially since it was lead by a moron / lunatic

That's a nice side effect.
