Ok, now we are getting somewhere. Who presided over the withdrawal of troops in Iraq, and the subsequent rise of ISIS in Iraq?

Why do the Iraqi people hate the US?
The Iraqi people hated the US before the Allies left, and many Iraqis still hate the US.
It is stupid to help people who hate you, any more than necessary.
It would have been stupid to stay in Iraq, because that would have built up more hatred.

Likewise, in the U.S., respondents were split between political affiliations about whether they thought Iraq was better or worse off. This chart breaks down the various responses to the survey:"
