Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has died at age 84, leaving behind a deeply controversial and polarizing legacy. While Cheney was considered one of the most powerful vice presidents in U.S. history, Iraqis remember him for the lasting consequences of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
In Baghdad, citizens highlighted Cheney’s close relationship with Paul Bremer, whose decisions continue to impact Iraq today. Many criticized the justification for the war, citing false claims about weapons of mass destruction.
In Najaf, Iraqis reflected on Cheney’s broader geopolitical approach, describing him as an architect of the War on Terror and someone whose policies left long-term repercussions for both the U.S. and the Middle East.
Watch their perspectives on a figure whose actions shaped decades of modern history.
