What's our moral responsibility to Iraqis?

[Warpy]

52. We don't bear full responsibility for breaking it

We only hurried the inevitable by removing a strongman dictator who was able to keep it together for a few more years.

A careful reading of the history of the region will tell you it's been broken for centuries. The real responsibility for the present fury belongs more to Saudi Arabia, exporting the least tolerant, most vicious sect of Islam via free "schools" for decades.

Our main responsibility at this point is not interfering in a fight which has long been inevitable, trying to maintain borders established by another Empire and which have suited no one living in the region.

Our responsibility should be humanitarian aid, lots of it, to people who have fled the fighting. Anything else will be counterproductive in the long run.
