They are not only responsible for it, they have created it.\nResponsibility is a mild term and may be attributed even to Saddam or others, but those who have created it are the main culprits.

I think the US has proven to be a more unstable country than any other in the history of modern politics.\n\nInvading 2 countries, throwing out their leadership and installing their own leaders, monopolyzing all corporate interests in those countries (oil, road, electric, etc.) and lying to its own people about its intents ("terror" "weapons of mass destruction" etc.).\n\nUSA is a frightening place to the International arena it would seem.\n\nName any country that has caused so much destruction.

Well, the true reason is kind of multi-pronged.\n\nFirstly, it was for oil. However, not in the way that the "those evil war mongering republicans are all poopy heads" crowd seem to believe. Like it or not the US economy is highly dependant on foreign oil. The previous regime in Iraq first tried to take over Kuwait, a major producer that sits directly on the gulf. Additionally, that regime made it quite clear that they intended to use their influence on global oil markets in any way they could to harm western economies. Can you imagine a world where a single very anti-American dictator controls 70% of the worlds oil supply and chooses not to sell to us at any price but rather give China, a major rival, access to virtually unlimited supplies at cut rate prices?\n\nSecondly, it was about breaking up the web of state funded terrorism. Like it or not there are a large number of middle eastern fundamentalists who are actively working to wipe America off of the map. This is not some new phenomena that has taken place since we took action in Iraq. This has been brewing for decades. I know that it is an unpleasant realization to some, but America is at war and we did not start it nor did it begin with the invasion of Iraq nor with 9/11. Middle eastern fundamentalists declared war on the US more than a decade ago. Unfortunately, most Americans are too busy carrying on with their normal lives to realize this as a clear and present danger. One of the insidious attributes about international terrorism is that there is no single nation-state that the US can point to as the "enemy". This gives state sponsors of terrorism the luxury of calling the US an aggressive bully when we take action against them. Iraq was one of many enablers in the international terrorism network. There are others. It is my hope that America will not have to learn the hard way that it is better to deal with such threats early even though such actions may not appear politically correct rather than wait until a mushroom cloud erupts over Israel, the UK, or the Eastern coast of the US.

"It takes two to tango"... so, both really, but as for any one faction, verses any other... the US, is definately the most dangerous... where Israel comes in, is provocation, to put it simply, Israel (vs Iran), or Iran (vs the US directly) is the spark, and the US is the proverbial "powderkeg". Iran is, however, a HUGE threat to the world economy (in particular, the fragile US economy), but to be such a threat, it needs a cause to "unite" its people, that is where we (the US under republican or democrat leadership), and Israel (under virtualy any leadership), come in to play... by itself, without direct combat Iran is possably the most dangerous power on this earth (due to its economic signifigance)... but as far as direcly killing/destroying the world, and creating unecisary death, and combat, the US takes the "blue ribbon"... but never fear, if the partisan bickering continues, and socialist government systems continue to rise at there current rate (here in the US), the democrats and republicans that currently ocupy this country will colapse its economy, rendering the US relatively powerless, and making way for the evil empire of China to rise... of coarse when this happens (and it will, if we do not signifigantly change our course in the next 15-25 years, the economy will undergo another "crash", like in the nineteen thirties), China will be the biggest military threat...\n\nDoesn't make you very optomistic about the future of our world does it? I just hope this new "crash" doesn't happen within my lifetime... Even with the idiodic (not patriotic) red white and stupid general public at the relm, eventualy (hopefuly soon), we will get an inteligent president, who will guide us away from this path of self-destruction (after all, if you have enough monkeys typing on enough typewriters, for a long enough time, they may eventualy type something intelegent, right?)...

The west and not just the US has interfered in the Middle East since the 19th Century.  The US involvement began after WW II.  If the Middle east was not rich in natural gas and oil, the US would pay no heed to the Middle East.  It is all about a powerful country imposing their will on other countries when they do know the language, culture or religion.

I agree that this is obvious.  Iraq was probably the hegemon in the Middle East before the US invasion, though Iran had already been clamoring for increased power and influence in the region.  Now that Iraq has fallen into great turmoil, Iran now has an opportunity to increase its influence and establish itself as the leading Muslim nation, much as the US is considered the leading democratic nation.  Iran has much to gain from a destabilized Iraq, and is thus contributing to the violence through weapons sales.

I think there's little doubt about that.  The only reason the country was stable for so long was Saddam Hussein.  Oppresive dictatorship is a highly effective way to hold together a country that should be torn appart by different factions all vying for control.  Iraq is made up primarily of three groups: the Shi'it Muslims, the Sunni Muslims, and the Kurds.  If I remember correctly, the Sunni's have most of the money, but most of the population is Shi'it (I may have reversed the two, though), and neither group is too fond of the Kurds.  Under Saddam, you had the wealthy elite repressing the both other groups.  Now it's revenge time.  No way it's going to be stable.  Besides which anyone who's actually elected president by any kind of majority vote we're going to through out as too religious and too anti-American (guess what, they don't like us very much).

The answer to your question is thoroughly explained in the documentary Farenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore.\nIt shows that what really defines the relationship between the middle east and the united states are the common economic interests of the ruthless saudi dictatorship and the US elite (The bushes, the VP and all of the big corporate and energy executives) \nThe iraq war is just and excuse to control its oil for their benefit(Not yours, you´re still paying 3 bucks a gallon)

In some aspects, they do have a point.\n\nThe USA won't mind our own business. The arabs see the USA as imperialist hell bent on destroying them.\n\nThe US needs to do some good PR and change the situation.

It is and is going to become more unstable, there are too many factors there that made this civil war and who knows who likes it and who doesn't?\nIt will ruin US long-term interest, from Domino theory and great Middle East to Iraq oil but maybe there are good things about it that I don't know.

Oil, money, and power. I like the wording of your question, how you make it seem like it is all the wests fault... Both sides are using propaganda and both sides are to blame.

We have no reason to be there in the first place. The American people have been fed by the Bush propaganda machine to persuade them into backing a war with no justification. \n\nLook, I have done allot of study concerning this matter only to reach a conclusion that the middle east does not want to be come part of this New World Order, so the Elite have to cause the middle east to become unstable to take control. Iran will be next, mark my words! Don't forget, Bush declared Victory over Iraq when he landed on a battleship in front of millions world wide, what a dumb-ass he has become. I am even a bigger dumb ass for voting for him twice!

Israel is the single root cause of all of the instability in the ME.\nTheir refusal to comply with UN resolutions and withdraw from Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian land they have occupied (stolen) since 40 years has created the issue we have today.\nThe problem is the USA supports and vetoes any UN resolution blindly with regards to Israel.\nYet the USA wishes to apply any UN resolutions against the Arabs by military force.\nUntil the USA and Israel act in an honourable way their will never be peace.

Yes. Bush further destabilized one of the most important regions on the planet. Big time. And the Middle East will stay in chaos for decades. Until we leave and the Iranians with their nuke take control of the region.\n\nThe dumbest unilateral US foreign policy move ever. And we ain't seen nothin yet.
