Imagine Iraq was repressively colonised by Saudi for 50 years then after gaining independence was still controlled by Saudi through Saudi-installed corrupt effective dictatorship for 20 years, which was overthrown by a popular civil uprising and replaced with an adequately functional democracy which was inevitably supported by the West because they opposed Saudi…

….which was then promptly invaded by Saudi, and then a full scale brutal attempt at total conquest a decade later…

…and the Iraqis allegedly blew up a bridge illegally built on Iraqi territory which was one of the main entry and supply route for the Saudi invasion forces.

You’re making a ridiculous false equivalence and you know it - and no this is not an attempt at justifying the Iraq invasion.
