About this Quote

This quote by Dick Cheney is referring to the 2003 intrusion of Iraq by the United States. Cheney was confident that the United States would be invited as liberators by the Iraqi individuals, as they would be seen as bringing flexibility and democracy to the country. Nevertheless, this was not the case. The invasion was met widespread opposition from the Iraqi individuals, and the US was viewed as an occupying force instead of liberators. This quote works as a suggestion of the US's misguided optimism and the consequences of their actions. It likewise works as an alerting to other countries that might be thinking about comparable interventions in the future.
