the American people; the need to take all the resource from Iraq like petrol and these things; since Saddam was caught, America didn't stop taking as much tanks of petrol as it can, they are stealing everyday petrol from Iraq; i know many people working with them for that, and as soon as they take what they want; they will leave Iraq suffering with no good legal or governmental system, Saddam went wrong with his people and USA took that as an excuse to invade Iraq and take what it want, with the help from the people who elected Bush for the second time, a dream came true....

The chaos in Iraq is the fault of the Islamic people, themselves. They have let extremists hijack their religion and in 1400yrs have not been able to separate secular laws from religious laws so the clergy (for lack of a better word) continue to rule the Islamic lands, with the two main factions Sunnis and Shiites killing each other for control.
American people had nothing to do with the chaos there, it's only because we are there that CNN is there and that is why most Americans can now located Iraq on a globe.

There are many reasons, like political and religious bias in Iraq, U.N.-imposed sanctions, terrorists, lack of recognition of the rights of Kurds for a homeland, Iran's involvement, and others, but:
While I am not blaming American citizens or the culture for this, I think that foreign policy has been incredibly damaging and the Republicans strike me as not having a conscience about it. While some of this is motivated by legitimate desires for justice against al-Qaeda, people in Afghanistan and Iraq are not responsible for that. Iraq never possessed 'weapons of mass destruction', unless Saddam was getting it on the side with Monica Lewinsky. Then she would know where the weapons of mass destruction were really hidden...

I take some of the blame. I supported the war for a long time from the very beginning. I take even more than most, because I never believed Iraq had WMD. Bush obviously should take the some of the blame. Obviously, by voting for the Bush Administration, many Americans are to blame. I hold particular blame for Rumsfeld and Cheny who have wanted to invade Iraq for years as well as Paul Wolfowitz who drew up the plan to put troops on the ground in the Middle East to put democracys there, which would then stop terrorism. The idea is stupid. Democracys start from within and that isn't happening. It was Rumsfeld and Cheney who tricked and bullied the CIA into putting out really bad intelligence, which made people think it was a good idea to go into Iraq. Moreover, Haliburton has gotten no bid multi-year contracts worth billions. And Cheney was the reason Haliburton got those contracts. No bid contracts for five years? I can understand a no-bid contract for a short period of time. Maybe even 2 years. But Five??? Cheney's closeness to Haliburton just shows us how cynical he really is.
But I also blame terrorists. I blame the insurgents. They must know that their acts are throwing their nation into Chaos, killing so many and destorying the lives of their countryman. I blame Sadam Hussien. I certainly blame Iran and Syria. We never should have gone there. It is perfectly obvious to me that we failed and the world will always be able to blame the U.S. for what happens in Iraq. Throughout history, people will look at what we were doing in 2002 and 2003 and wonder what we were thinking. I fear for our country, but I grieve for Iraq.

The Leadership of USA. They invaded a nation in the name of nonexistent WMD. Now they do not know how to come out the rigmarole created by themselves

Look in the mirror--that's whose fault it is! Yours, mine, ours.
The idiot American people elected bush the second time (after his being SELECTED by the supreme court the first time!). They obviously didn't learn the first time around.
A weak president with strong advisors does not a good America make. Attrocious wars faught over lies and oil (and don't say it wasn't because of oil--all the evidence is there if you care to look for it). Inept (and criminal) dimplomacy that has ostricized America and marginalized whatever goodwill we had before. The list goes on.
Will the Democrats be better? Not the way they are divided and quibbling over idiotic non-issues.
The Iraqi people can share wholesale in blame. Weak-willed by decades of dictators, they have allowed religeous zealots to come into their midst and start a civil war. And, make no mistake about it--it IS a civil war. If it looks like **** and smells like **** and tastes like ****, what is it?
People sitting on the sidelines wringing their hands don't help. "Oh, dear, what shall we do? Now, everyone play nice." Yeah, right. You're talking about HUMANS here.
Look in the mirror for blame.

The French and the Germans for their schemes to gain supremacy in that region through their black market trading. They funded Saddam's fetishes while his people suffered during the sanction period. Then they used all their influence to hinder efforts to re-stabilize the region.

That would be those nice people in masks cutting off hostage's heads, setting up IEDs, torturing and murdering anyone who helps the coalition, firing mortars at coalition bases, suicide bombing innocent people, etc. Why dont we blame the pricks that are ACTUALLY making it hard for people in Iraq and not the prick that sent us there in the first place.
