US launches major Iraq air attack

[Zinnia]

Fair enough. Do you think the Bush policies are really to blame

For the actions in Iraq, yes. Iraq had never attacked the US or showed any interest in attacking the US.

or do you consider the failings of almost every president going back to, say, Carter shares in the blame?

I think Clinton helped in the Iraq matter, yes, but I don't think I would go back as far as Carter. Carter did his own dealings, as all presidents do.
