Came up in another discussion but should be a separate topic.
Be interesting to see how MAGA team of Trump-Pemce-Javanka responds to such reparations demands.
Could be slippery slope and open door to other more recent reparations claims that could potentially cause liabilities for millions of Americans (upto 70% of population that supported the decision) tens of thousands of dollars each for Iraqi freedom war non-racist revenge bloodbath victim childrens families. Economy has started to recover but with $21 debt such claims pursuit in Courts of Justice could be a big problem potentially.

15 Years After Invasion, Demands for Iraq War Reparations
The war "provided the platform for mass civilian casualties, war crimes, and a vast boon to corporations seeking to profit from war-making—with almost complete impunity to this day."

The renewed call for war reparations for Iraq on Monday comes a day after a network of progressive organizations hosted a video conference because "the threat of war affects us all, and the call for peace must come from everywhere."

Marking the 15th anniversary of the U.S. invasion (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2866109.stm) of Iraq, a human and civil rights organization issued a renewed demand for reparations for survivors of the war and said a "new, global anti-war movement is needed more than ever."
In its statement released Monday, the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) calls attention to the ongoing human costs of the war as well as the lack of punishment government officials and corporate entities have faced for atrocities they committed in Iraq.
The "illegal war" that began in 2003, the group says, "provided the platform for mass civilian casualties, war crimes, and a vast boon to corporations seeking to profit from war-making—with almost complete impunity to this day."
"A new, global anti-war movement is needed more than ever, and central in it must be the leadership of Iraqis in devising a reparations process.""Groups like ISIS emerged from U.S.-fomented sectarianism and came together in U.S.-run prisons (https://ccrjustice.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=8219&qid=12039292) in Iraq. Less visible but no less damaging are the ongoing trauma and health issues experienced by those exposed to the fighting, as well as a growing refugee crisis, even as the Muslim Ban impedes many U.S.-created refugees from seeking asylum in the U.S."
Though President Barack Obama purportedly ended (https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2011/10/21/president-obama-has-ended-war-iraq) the war in 2011, it did not (https://www.commondreams.org/news/2018/03/19/%20/views/2017/12/19/three-administrations-one-standard-playbook-endless-war), in fact, end.
