Absolutely correct. And it's not as if this hadn't been predicted by many experts around the world before Shrub started his little adventure. Removing the lid from the kettle is never a good idea. But the idiots surrounding the president obviously didn't have any clue of what would happen.
Our adventurism in Iraq long predates either George Bush. We've been involved since the late 70s and every Democrat has gleefully taken part. Bill Clinton's sanctions killed how many? I recall his secretary of state Madeleine Albright said killing 500,000 children in Iraq was worth it to try to get Saddam out of power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0WDCYcUJ4o
