"....if you break it, you own it." Collin Powell

We (USA) broke it, ergo we own the problems of and in Iraq. There were other solutions aside from invasion, instead our government's leaders chose the path of war. They did so with arrogance, without understanding the culture(s), and without the approval of their military, or the UN ("We can go it alone", Bush). It was ill conceived, poorly planned, and a fubar from the get go. And now, the Bushys' are blaming everyone but themselves for the messopotamia they have us in.

We broke it, we are responsible for fixing it - not some brand new inexperienced government we installed.
