Please don't compare the two conflicts. One was a completely overzealous empire moving their richest citizens into the richest parts of every country they colonized for their own benefit.
We gave Iraq their first ever election, not take it away I.E the British over the Irish. We are not out there starting the fights, we are usually first responders who end up getting picked off with IED's and sniper file following a bomb in a market.

I'm not comparing the political situations or ethnic situations but the
commitment that Britain made in Ireland and N. Ireland which lasted for more than a 100 years.
