(32,886 posts)I love how, for instance, you have somehow made me responsible for Syria and Iraq and the deaths therein after my initial point was not wanting to be involved in another war and when I protested the Iraq war.
The illogical contortions that you have engaged in to get there are quite stunning.
No, "The West" is not responsible for Iraq. The Bush administration is responsible for Iraq. For starters, outside of the UK, most of "The West" told the Bush administration to go jump in a lake.
Outside of the use of an as yet uninvented machine to time travel back and prevent the election of George W. Bush, there is little anyone alive can do right now to change what is happening in Syria and Iraq.
The best thing the US can do is to not create further problems. If Russia wants to involve itself in a situation that external actors cannot resolve, let them.
