Reply #61: Your deflection of USG responsibility would be hilarious, if the subject were not genocide... [View All]

and a war of aggression, the highest of all crimes, launched by the United States government on a nation that posed no threat, in violation of international and constitutional law, on the basis of outrageous lies.

The largest number of killings in Iraq were conducted in the US-backed ethnic cleansing of Sunni areas by Shi'ite militias.

After the USG launched a war of aggression, after the carpet bombing of "Shock and Awe" and the other measures to destroy Iraqi society, including the intentional facilitation of looting of national treasures to break the people's will and create an atmosphere of chaos...

...after the dissolution of the Iraqi army despite warnings of the consequences, the USG acted surprised that Plan A ("they will throw flowers" at the invaders and destroyers of their country) didn't work.

Plan B meant bringing the Shi'a militias into the Interior Ministry and arming them for ethnic cleansing, and blaming every single killing in Iraq on the super-powerful "al-Qaeda" (perhaps a 1 percent factor in the insurgency).

Flood in a few billion dollars to pay off the Sunni militias, once they're on the defensive, and voila, "surge" wins.

This is mass murder, and while it's always on the killers who pull the triggers, ALL of it is the responsibility of the superpower that initiated the war of aggression.

ALL OF IT.

As for the "unknown perpetrators," I like how you assume YOU know.
