I seem to recall people claiming that the bombings and violence in Iraq only occurred because of the US troop presence, and thus the US was responsible. Well, now the US is gone, and the bombings continue. So much for that theory.
That theory was false from the very beginning. I think there are more folks who argue that the war simply unleashed the Iraqi Pandora's box of sectarian tension and violence.
