Bush did come out and say Iraq was a mistake. He said it on stage while advocating against the Russian invasion of Ukraine back in 2022.

So we should forgive Bush for killing 2 million Iraqi's then because he said it was a mistake? Never trust anyone who supported his war. Everyone's just washing their hands so they can dirty them again.

It's not about forgiving here.

The main priority here is to fix the problem, not to assign blame.

If the choice is between stopping the genocide and restoring peace versus hating all the people who ever supported Israel, that choice would be easy for me.

The point is to learn who to not to trust to prevent this from happening in the first place. If we didn't keep re-electing people who supported the Iraq war this genocide absolutely would not have happened in the first place.

No amount of shaming them had an affect on them before. Only the prospect of real consequences for their crimes is making them change. All you've done is just found a new way to tell anti-zionist protestors to shut up.

No. What I did is say that if someone switches sides we should let them.
