Uh, We did “break” iraq as in get rid of the stranglehold that Saddam had. Therefore, we “bought” it, meaning it’s now our responsibility to make sure an Al-Qeada sponsored Saddam doesn’t fill the hole.

He’s right. It’s a good metaphor.

But Western nations were 'helpful' (to say the least) as Hussein came to power and during the 1980s to Iraq. Was it 'broken' then? So do we just keep 'breaking' it and 'fixing' it over and over? Wow that'll be fun....
