By your logic it's my fault that my wife is sleeping with the pool boy, because I built the dam pool. I can't blame her, or fire the pool boy. Now he's seeing my daughter too, and half the ladies on the block. But they have no responsibility either. And now my wife is slandering me in the neighborhood. While she wanted the pool at first, now the whole thing is my fault and I should be sued first, then put on criminal trial. How could I not know she would prefer the pool boy over the pool?? It's just how the culture is around pools.

" I agree with you. I have been amazed at the constant poor decision making. " After watching "the decider" for six years now, I'm convinced that he has an almost paranormal ability with decisions. Given a menu of options, the "decider" will choose the absolute worst option almost every time. It's almost as if he were a Bizarro President. en.wikipedia.org

I certainly don't blame the victims. I think the only people to blame here are the people who got the ball rolling- the Bush admin and their little helpers; the democrats who rolled over without a fight because they were afraid of being tarred as "soft" on "terror"; the press, for not pushing and pushing and pushing on this, again, because they were afraid of being seen as "soft" on "terror", and being seen as "unpatriotic"; and finally the bulk of the American people for not demanding better, and for being so poorly educated on world affairs that they are as easily manipulated as 8 year old children. Amazing. You don't blame the people setting off the bombs, or the people organizing the people setting off the bombs, at all? Everyone is responsible except for the people actually committing the atrocities? The "insurgents" have no blame for their actions in Iraq?
