I would ask, I think, Isn't the post-Saddam power struggle a 'direct
result of the acts of British or American or other Allied troops'? I
mean, Bush & Co went in there with NO plans for a postwar
reconstruction, or at least none that took account of even their own
intelligence about what would be needed.
So, in a way, the US & the willing (dupes) have created the
circumstances in which so many 'collateral' deaths have occurred?
