As you point out its the ideas that matter, not the people who hold them. And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
Shouldn't the focus be on taking down the ideas that lead to the Iraq war, instead of assigning blame for how it happened?
And how does one do that without holding the perpetrators accountable? The people who hold these idiotic ideas do matter, and they need to be discredited every time the opportunity presents itself. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
The drive to place responsibility for the way Iraq blew up in our faces on the US is just as much about incriminating our domestic Quislings and making it harder for them to say "the international community" when in reality they mean "our sugar-daddy in Washington." That's more than a little rough on the Americans who are exposed to it. And it's going to feel mightily unfair to those Americans who explicitly voted against King George the Lesser. But if we don't drive the point home that the US is not, at the moment, a source of freedom and democracy, our Quislings can keep pissing European lives and political capital away. And that's simply not acceptable.
