Actually, the current cluster of fucks really began with the Syrian civil war and the west's idiotic failure to support a secular despot in the quixiotic fantasy about some wonderour Arab spring. Invasion of Iraq was mainly an American crime, but after 2008 things would not have gotten this out of hand without western world's collective blunders in Arab spring.
During each phase of the Arab spring, the west sympathized with and backed the wrong side. It was a colossal blunder to abandon Mubarak, it was a colossal blunder to topple Gadhaffi, it was perhaps the worst blunder to waffle and seem to come down against Assad.
