Who is responsible for the mess in Iraq today?

If you mean the political situation, then really its the British Empire's fault, if we'd put down the 1920 uprising, and enforced the British Mandate for Mesopotamia; Iraq would still be a British Protectorate. As usual, we were too kind on the local population, we should have used more violence and persecution until they were grateful of our civilising influence. If we'd done the same thing in 1776, then there wouldn't have been a United States of America to lead the war-mongering and Islamic persecution.

A lot of people, but mostly, the IRAQI people themselves.
They have had some incredible chances to develop a functioning government and society, and simply have not.
A lot of blame also goes to the US for destabilizing the place to begin with, but that was 12 years ago, and by now, the Iraqi mess belongs to the Iraqi's.

You can't walk off from a fight, and not expect to get smacked in the back of the head. Barack Hussein Obama, and those who empowered him are responsible.

Well as far as U.S. leaders goes it's President Obama who is the commander- in -chief of the military.
