The simplest, harshest answer is because *WE* supported it. A sufficient number of dumbfxxks in our representative democracy have voted into power a bunch of lunatics, and now we are reaping what we have sown. Though, unfortunately, up to 10,000 Iraqi civilians have also been harvested, because of our country's negligence at the voting booth.

Blame Bush, the fratboy boob, all you want, but he's not in power solely because of the Supreme Court, butterfly ballots, Ralph Nader, right-wing media, etc.

AMERICA invaded Iraq. This is now *OUR* mess. We would be just as guilty of genocide in pulling out -- knowing what was to come -- as the Nazis, Serbians, etc.
