The one complaint I would agree with is that the US left the dam-man in power when they had him beat. This was done for several purely political reasons, as a balance to Iran, and to extract themselves from the perception of having put a puppet regime in place. I think they under estimated him badly. So in that sense I would agree that the US has a high degree of responsibility.

If we did drive to Baghdad Saddam could not have stopped us. However the result would probably have been either us leaving Iraq with even more violence and instability then it has had, or leaving a large US force there to support the government we set up.
