I wonder how Iraq became so violent, one can only wonder...

Well, it could be the uninterrupted state of chronic warfare it's been in since about the time of the rise of Babylon on...but of course that's not the answer your smarmy question is looking for, is it?

Clearly it isn't. But if the answer was so self evident to all of us poor clods outside the intelligence community in Washington DC, why didn't "the decider", who's got all kinds of information and advice at his fingertips, know this?

It's kind of like someone who knows that a closet has been stuffed to the gills yet decides to pull the door open only to act shocked (shocked!) when a lifetime of amassed junk falls out all over the floor. In that case, it is not unfair to primarily blame the guy who knowingly opened the door.

So this violence today would have continued to happen, even if the United States hadn't invaded Iraq...

As for the uninterrupted state of chronic warfare, doesn't that go to show that warfare hasn't resolved anything in the region if you truly believe that. For some reason I highly doubt we'll see a smooth transition to American style democracy in the region anytime soon.

I wonder if there is any sense or reason in arguing with the fanatics who defend the war foaming at their mouth.

When perls like "Saddam supported terrorists", "Iraqi people are free now", "Iraqi people live better now", "democracy reigns", "USA cares about human rights" start rolling in, you *KNOW* you're talking to an uneducated redneck at best, a fascist wannabe at worst.

Oh and to the original poster..nice touch mentioning that USA is building a hospital in Fallujah. You forgot to mention that they're RE-building a hospital they destroyed with air strikes before.

And the "they didn't even have hospitals before" was a nice touch. A city of 350k people without a hospital eh?
