Blame just had to include sanctions.

The thrill of living in Iraq free of Hussein has been countered by the looting, lapses in security, and a rise in terrorism. Those are problems that they now have the responsibility to solve. We didn't do anything for them if they are still looking for someone else to make it all better.
What we did for them is give them the ability to control their own society. We're also helping them get it right. But if they don't, it might be their failure even more than ours.

They must return. If the Iraqi people are to gain the security they need, it's going to take men like these to give them the reasons why they must do as much as possible to help the Americans. We want their security as much as they do, and we can't do it without them.
Yes, it takes bravery, yes it's a risk, but if they want the country of their dreams they MUST help.
