So there are different levels of blame here. I blame the US for creating the mess which allows civil war to be possible in Iraq. You also ignore Saddam's regime and general intolerance of the people of the region. Do you blame the British for the sectarian violence that hit India when they won their independence from Britain in the late 1940s? Do you think the British should have done more to resist Indian independence to avoid the Indian sectarian violence that followed? I don't, just as I don't blame the Bush administration when an Iraqi suicide killer gets on a bus and kills 30 fellow Iraqis. You can blame Bush for speeding up the inevitable, not much more, unless you think Saddam's regime was somehow going to produce social harmony among the people of Iraq, which seems like a long shot. If you have a rabid dog... We are talking about human beings in Iraq, not diseased dogs. Rabid dogs are put to death by their masters.
