The first war with Iraq was never about Iraq. Kuwait was drilling into Iraqi fields, but the US wanted a reason to move in. If Kuwait grew carrots, they would have let Iraq destroy them. They wanted to get into Iran, and Iraq was the first step
The US backed Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war, and were being shot at by their own weapons. This came as a surprise to the many people who have no idea of how the US has interfered in the middle-east
Then the second invasion, because of something that happened because of the Saudis, in other countries... Of course, the US backed the Mujahadeen, who went on to become the Taliban, because they were embroiled in a proxy war with the USSR.
Iran has been the goal for a long time, because of the power they used to wield, and obviously because of their huge oil reserves
America keeps stirring the pot so that a few rich cunts can get richer, without a moment of hesitation at the fact that that profit is going to cost lives.
The lives of the locals, the lives of the troops sent to fight for oil companies. This isn't even seen as a price of making money, because to those doing this shit, those lives are without value, so their is no cost
American, Iraqi, Iranian, they don't care who dies, so long as they are making money
