Conservatively we caused 40K deaths in Iraq. I compare that to the horrific 3K of 9/11 and am not sure you and I are from the same planet. So if Al Qaeda kills people in Iraq, we caused it? What are the jihadis, robots without personal responsibility?

As Nadine pointed out we didn't kill them, also why that total may be accurate I'm not sure I'd call it very conservative. If it was accurate it, and if things actually do get better than we will have freed 25 million people from a tyrannical regime that was responsible for the deaths of a much greater number of people. If the violence ends tomorrow (yes I know it won't) it would have been worth it.
