And most of the people that live in those countries for the record.

Sure that’s why the US is invited into middle east countries like Iraq and Jordan where they are attacked.by Iranian stooges from Syria.

In a statement, it condemned the strikes as a "new aggression against Iraq's sovereignty" and denied that they were coordinated by the Baghdad government beforehand with Washington, calling such assertions "lies".
The presence of the U.S.-led military coalition in the region "has become a reason for threatening security and stability in Iraq and a justification for involving Iraq in regional and international conflicts", the statement added.

All they have to do is recend their invitations and tell the US to leave. But, they won’t do that because they don’t want to be under Iran’s heel.
You sure do talk a lot about this for someone who doesn’t understand the basics. The groups Iran backs in Iraq are there to prop up the current Iraqi regime since they’re afraid of another Sunni leader emerging if the current regime falls. They’re mainly worried about an Islamic State takeover, and Iraq accepts their presence.
Jordan has a dictator who lied and said the US base that got struck was in Syria instead of Jordan most likely to avoid backlash from the population about the presence of a US base in their borders.

I understand your agenda, but the fact remains true that they know how to uninvite the US and haven’t done so.
This is a discussion about what the people who live there want, not what the government does, are we not on the same page here? The fact is the Iraqi PM is facing internal pressure to expel US forces and he is in the process of doing that.

You want to make it that discussion I understand, but that’s not what it was. Address someone else if that’s what you want to talk about. The fact is that the US was invited into these countries and Iran wasn’t
I think it’s unfair to put the US and Iran on the same level here. Iran is in the Middle East. America isn’t. Claiming that “Iran said the US should stop bombing civillians” as if it’s something bad is simply outright stupid, and that is what my comment is trying to point out. The US has no business to bomb people half way across the globe.
A superpower that doesn't project force around the globe isn't a superpower. Love it or hate it, but America is the sole remaining superpower and as such, it can't afford to stay out of affairs, including in the Middle East - and when it's forces are attacked, it has no other option but to strike back. That's the bare minimum. The moment it retreats out of world affairs, power vacuums emerge and the world becomes a much less stable place.
Oh, no, I totally get that. I’m just taking the piss at it.

Nothing more American than bombing the same place and expecting a different result

There's nothing more human than killing each other to stop war, either.
The human species' best creations have been through collaboration on new ideas and projects, but we keep going back to the old competitive methods that have clearly demonstrated that they don't make good long term solutions. We just don't learn.

Us is known for placing puppets as presidents to protect it’s interests.
we where so busy bombing we forgot to not do empire
Anyone the narrative disagrees with is the example, I suppose.
At least Iran is in the Middle East. America isn’t. America is in North America.
It's brilliant insights like these that I come to this community for.
