well when you control for the Kurds / political prisoners Saddam killed its a bit closer to even. Still no one's in favor of the Iraq war, even the right wing neocons around here aren't in favor of the Iraq war...
9/11 was bad, the Iraq war was bad, the Afghani invasion was bad, Libya was bad, Syria was and is bad. Just in case you need a short reference list of other things moderate american's aren't in favor of.
But hey at least we got a dictator out of office with out "revenge", all you guys did was keep a few muslims off the beach, o wait you didn't even get that done.
I don't know any moderates who were opposed to the Afghanistan war... although there are plenty who think we should have pulled out earlier.

brexit hasn't resulted in the deaths of a million civilians, your analogy is lacking
America deserves blame for that, but let's be clear, the vast majority of dead civilians were killed because of sectarian violence. The Iraqi population deserves most of the blame, America just created the instability.
