What's our moral responsibility to Iraqis?

[gratuitous]

59. I disagree

The "natural" life of a dictatorship was cut off by our invasion. Usually, as dictatorships begin to crumble (usually due to the increasing infirmity of the dictator, which usually manifests in greater suppression more violence against the populace and increasing paranoia), factions and coalitions form and post-dictator plans are laid. Executing Saddam subverted the succession process and guaranteed the chaos that Iraq has descended into, helped along mightily by our destruction of Iraq's road system and power grid.

And the cherry on this shit sundae is the fact that we continue to supply arms to our good friends the Saudis and the Israelis, who are eager to cripple Iraq further, and ditto for the Iranians, being amply supplied by the Russians. We fucked this region so badly it won't be unfucked in our lifetimes or the lifetimes of our children and maybe not even their children.
