I accept US responsibility for a great many of the civilian deaths caused in Vietnam. I don't accept US responsibility for Islamists of different varieties blowing up each other's markets and places of worship with weapons provided by Iran and Syria.

So you don't accept the fact that a lot of this sectarian violence flared after the toppling of Saddam, which was because of the US? And how many of the deaths do you attribute to the sectarian violence, as opposed to the direct actions of the US in the region?

Hey, get with the times. Whitewashing jihadis is in vogue these days.

Do you believe the violence would have happened without the US invasion?

There's the signal. You guys are so deep you don't even realize when you've made it obvious.
