Is Bush responsible for the genocide he started in Iraq?

Question

Any other leader wouyld be, he's no better than Idi Amin.

Answer 1

I could give a long answer, but...

YES!

Answer 2

Well the notion that Bush intended for there to be genocide and civil war is off-base. He had a grandiose vision of bringing peace in the middle east by defeating and dethroning Saddam Hussein and expected to be received as a hero. Then he thought he could get democracy going there and it would spread to the neighbors. I mean look - we beat the snot out of Japan and they became a friendly productive democracy. So same should be true in the middle east - right? Er - well looks like that's not how it's turning out. Bush a dunderheaded ideologue? Yes. Bush a genocidal maniac among the likes of Idi Amin? No.

Answer 3

No. He's only responsible for his own actions, and the actions of people under him in the chain of command. The terrorists murdering civilians in Iraq are not taking orders from Bush.

However, Bush should be impeached and removed from office because over 3,000 Americans have died in a senseless war that Bush lied us into.

I think the root cause of the turmoil in the Mideast is oil. Earned wealth is a good thing, but when Mother Nature just leaves her riches laying around, the result is almost always violence and the elevation of violent people.

Answer 4

He is only responsible insofar as our military's liberation of Iraq has brought out in the open all of the old tribal and sectarian hatreds that existed even when Hussein was in power, but which he iron-handedly kept a lid on with his torture rooms. Otherwise, no, Bush cannot be held responsible for the ancient hatreds and animosity that are rampant there.

Answer 5

you should look up the world "Genocide" in the dictionary.

bush is bad enough as he is, you don't need to make stuff up about him or accuse him of things he is not doing.

Iraq was a hell hole before bush made it worse.

bush just started a civil war that was going to happen someday anyway ( and put America in the middle )

Answer 6

Yes! The man is demented and a psychopath, God help the world if he starts nuking Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela etc. He will, he's got nearly 2 yrs left.

Answer 7

Right. Bush has armed himself, gone to Iraq, and personally slain tens of thousands of Iraqis. ROFL.

Idi Amin Dada personally packed people into buildings filled with explosives and blew them up. He personally was covered in the blood of his victims.

Nice try, numbnuts.

Answer 8

Another troll, you freakin idiot, there was genocide going on there before we got there and if we leave now there will be more of it. Fewer people have died in Iraq since we went in then what Saddam killed all by himself. Crawl back in your little hole you stupid little troll.

Answer 9

Yes.

Bush, Cheney, the entire Cabinet, ALL members of PNAC and AIPAC (same thing), the majority of our spineless Congress, 99.9% of our controlled media, and Jeb Bush for helping his retarded drunken coke-head brother steal the election and usurp this once great nation.

[BUSH = CUUUNT!!!]
...

Answer 10

The Arabs in that country have killed more Iraqi's than the US military has. Sadam himself killed more Kurds than total people have died in this conflict. Try common sense before asking silly propaganda filled questions.

Answer 11

genocide was going on before we got there. they have been fighting amongst themselves for thousands of years. we didn't start this.(remember the crusades)
