Who is responsible for Iraq's civil war and civilian deaths?

Question

1000s dieing every week.

Answer 1

The current Iraqi civilian death toll is at 130,290 (PBS's The McClaughlin Group)

Bush is responsible. It is that simple. He is the one that unilaterally occupied Iraq for no reason whatsoever. Now the country is turned upside down and in the middle of a civil war...

If I go over to my neighbor's and turn it upside down and hang around a week until everybody is fighting and maybe act so bad that all the other neighbors are coming over disrupting them too, who's fault is that? It would be mine because I started it and I disrupted their lives.

Answer 2

Saddam started the war by invading Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in 1991. After his military was driven back, he was granted an overly-generous temporary cease-fire in which he was required to hand over his WMD materials and equipment.

Since Saddam repeatedly defied the cease-fire mandates throughout the 1990s, and the UN Resolution 1441 confirmed that Saddam had one last chance to comply or face the consequences, and Hans Blix's report of February 2003 confirmed that Saddam had made his known WMD stockpiles and equipment disappear...

Saddam brought about an end to the temporary cease-fire through his own refusal to obey its conditions. The US was committed to eliminating Saddam when Clinton and Congress passed the Iraq Liberation Act in 1998. Clinton bombed Iraq for days but could not get Saddam to comply. So, Bush was left with the task of finishing the decade-long war. After Saddam's refusal to abide by Resolution 1441, Bush did what he promised to do - fulfill Clinton's Iraq Liberation Act, to succeed where Clinton had failed miserably.

Now that Iraq has a legitimately elected government and we are supporting it in rebuilding, Islamists are attacking civilians to disrupt the restoration of the country. The Islamists are solely responsible for the ongoing deaths.

If the Islamists laid down their arms, there would be no more fighting in Iraq. If the US and Iraqi forces laid down their arms, there would be no more Iraq.
