        The callous disregard for life & well-being of the people of Iraq especially during the occupation has no excuse. Iraqi lives didn't matter.

        Pre-2001 Taliban sprung up in the dismal refugee camps in Pakistan, lives & families destroyed, unbalanced by the Soviet war & occupation.

        Don’t forget the disastrous early withdrawal and power vacuum.

        No pulling out did, and going to war without knowing geopolitics of the region.

        @rich1 @paulwaugh Blair and Bush et. al. are war criminals. 100s of 1000s died. They destroyed a country & caused a sectarian war.

        Yes, difference in outcome partly shaped by attitude, partly by approach to occupation. Paddy Ashdown interesting on this re Bosnia.

        Ba'athism was developed in the 1920s. But I take your point re the Sunni-Shia split.

        Anti-semitism is that old. Protestant/Catholic split is also hundreds of years old and arguably caused more deaths.

        absolutely. It created a power vacuum, that was quickly filled by the people that understood how to use the situation.
