Look, you need to understand that the concept of the responsibility of a person or group for their actions exists independent of the war in Iraq or even, shockingly, your thoughts about it. Responsibility exists whether or not you're sympathetic to motivations and actions or not. Stop marrying these two ideas together.
Secondly, I think everyone on the planet is aware of shared responsibility. That's such a no-brainer that I wouldn't have even though quasi-intelligent people would bother to discuss it. Who holds the primary responsibility for a random car bombing in Ramadi that kills 8 eight people? The US or the people that planned the attack?
You don't act you understand it. If you did, you would know that even with others having responsibility tied to them, we are not relieved of our responsibility. We started a war without justification. We're responsible for the consequences.
