Insightful comment. Regarding: > Many pointed out the advocates for invading Iraq, mostly the neo-cons Don’t forget Biden who ultimately co signed the act.

  Biden voted for the act which required Bush to make certain determinations, which he did in bad faith. While we can (and I did at the time) argue that the bad faith was predictable, supporting the law is still different than actively perpetrating the bad faith determination to initiate the war.

    "I'm going to give the crazy guy the gun, and let him choose whether to kill all these people, and it's not my fault." So tired of this idea that powerful people are free of responsibility for their actions. Biden VOTED FOR THE ACT which everyone knew was bullshit and hundreds of thousands of innocent people died.

      > So tired of this idea that powerful people are free of responsibility for their actions That's irrelevant; distinguishing between distinctly different acts is not absolving either of liability; in fact, I explicitly noted the basis of moral liability for each of the distinguished acts.
