Janet Yellen said that the death of 500k Iraqi children was worth it to bring democracy to the region.

The US uses white phosphorous munitions, which causes phosphorus to bind to human skin and mucus membranes and burn them to death.

The US destroyed nearly all public facilities from water to hospitals to schools to sanitation to power.

Maybe the bias is in your conception of what happened in Iraq and when an article comes along that contradicts the narrative you were indoctrinated with it causes tension. Try researching the actual history of the conflict. Maybe listen to the Blowback podcast that does a great deal of work making things like this accesible.
