Hmmmmmmm . . . , "She was asking to be raped by wearing a short skirt, and showing her nipples. It's her fault. The man who did it was only acting on impulse and you can't blame him."

Do we blame the United States for the crime of those who raped this treasure?

I think not.

Those who stole the treasure are criminals.

The United States has sent this "rape victim" (Iraq) to the hospital (new regime) to collect forensic evidence.

The criminals will be caught.

Those who stole the treasure are criminals.

And those nations and rich people who buy these stolen goods (and give them black market value) are also criminals.

And yet America again gets the blame.

Can we unload on the liberal mayor of LA, Chicago, or some other dense populated example of "Gore Country" the next time there is a riot after a sports championship? "You knew that this would happen...". Maybe we can even extend that blame to the team and team owner, his guys should've thrown the game to avoid the economic hardships it would bring their city.
