 The sheer number of Muslims has not  been able to protect Iraqis from having their country's infrastrucutre bombed, from being attacked by weapons using depleted uranium and chemical weapons, from having thousands of people jailed without justification, and the Untied States controlling and benefiting, more than the Iraqis, from the reconstruction.

Ironically, Saddam Hussein was helped into power by the United States and the U.S. supported Saddam, strategically and financially, when he was committing his worst atrocities. The Iraqis are scapegoats for U.S. foreign policy.
