Not to add another dunk, but weren't Iraq basically under siege during the 90s and the early 2000s prior to the invasion? So after the gulf war flattened the country, there was basically no way to rebuild it, since Iraq would need to import the technical parts (since their factories were blown up), however due to the sanctions, there was no way to realistically do that, since no country would risk getting on the American shitlist?
