*Someone blames all Muslims on 9/11
"DURR HURR DAT RACISIS!"
*Someone blames all Americans and their soldiers for the torture of Iraqis and a car crash
"Well, you see that's a justified opinion, which you may or may not approve but everyone has the right to voice it.".
>9/11 - a small attack done by a few extremists - around 3000 dead
>Iraq - a large-scale invasion of a sovereign nation, done so with near-unanimous international condemnation, with popular domestic support committed by a democratic nation - over 100 000 dead
Hardly equitable.
The US wasn't the only nation that went into Iraq. So did the UK, Canada, some South Koreans, and others. But apparently, only the US is still to blame, despite the support of other countries. Canada did NOT fight in the Iraq war, thank you very much.
A select few countries supported the US. The UN condemned it and nearly all of its member-states.
The US instigated, spearheaded, and prolonged the Iraq war. The deserve most (though not all) of the blame.
