"What was the reason for invading Iraq' Was it a humanitarian crusade or an economic one' I would be inclined to say the latter. It was the same with the Civil War, because the landed gentry's money was being stolen by the king"

- Dougray Scott

About this Quote

In this quote, star Dougray Scott is questioning the true intention behind the invasion of Iraq. He postures the concern of whether it was a humanitarian effort or driven by economic interests. He then suggests that he thinks it was most likely the latter, drawing a parallel to the Civil War where the wealthy landowners were worried about their cash being taken by the king. This quote highlights the idea that wars and conflicts are frequently fueled by economic gain instead of honorable intentions. It also recommends a pattern of history duplicating itself, where those in power prioritize their own monetary interests over the well-being of others.
