I'm not saying only hold the person who pulled the metaphoric trigger responsible, hold the people responsible and those directly supporting them responsible. But going back the Iraq example, hold Saddam and his generals, cabinet, etc responsible, but not the everyday Iraqi who is just trying to get from day to day. Is it a two year old child's fault that Saddam isn't following the rules of the world has put out? The answer has to be yes for a lot of people because the biggest age group hurt by the economic sanctions were children.
