I think most Iraqis would disagree with the notion that western governments helped out in 1990-1991. If anything, the Iraqi people tried to overthrow their dictator Saddam, and after a victorious revolution which saw 14/19 districts being overthrown, including the capital- they were crushed by none other than the US government & military. So if they rescued the Kuwaiti population from occupation, they certainly did nothing for the Iraqis, except allow a brutal dictator to stay in power for another decade. Saddam was killing his people for over 30 years and no one in the west said a word until the WMD palava. So really, there’s not much trust to work with. The western wars are not necessarily anti-Muslim, but they are definitely in the interests of power and economy.
