107. Bush and Cheney shouldn't get the entire blame

and Muslims shouldn't get a free pass.

Bush and Cheney could never have succeeded without overt help from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt. Only Turkey refused to allow its territory to be used against Iraq.

If Saudis had the guts, they could have told Bush to stick that idea in Bush's nether regions. Without Saudi soil as the staging ground, it would have been impossible for Bush to attack Iraq so decisively.

Why is it that Muslims don't have the insight to see that it was the Saudi and Kuwaiti hatred of Saddam that was instrumental in the Iraq war? The last time I checked, both Saudi and Kuwaiti regimes are Muslim.

I'd support Muslim protests against Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait first and then support protests against the US. They are the ones who are secretly funding ISIS and Boko Haram.

The last insight that is sorely needed is that Islam of today is perceived as the only religion where violence is exalted and looked up to. When are mainstream Muslims going to disavow violence, have candle-light vigils/peaceful protests against violence and prove that it is actually a religion of peace? All the world sees right now are Muslims cheering ISIS and forced conversion of Yazidis and Kurds with a rah rah rah theme of Islam dominating the world. Contrast this with dozens of protests against Bush's wars in American society.
