50. Yes And No
Yes, because the war was launched with some degree of genocidal intent by the American people.

Admit it. The rationale for 100 million Americans was "let's go and kill a lot of Arabs". There was 72% support at the time. That's what they really wanted, deep down.

And no, because that hasn't, in practise, happened.

The US has been extraordinarily brutal in attempting to occupy the country, but killing people for the sake of killing them hasn't, by and large, happened.

However you see it, we've killed, or caused the death of, about a million people and make 4 million homeless. So far.

I feel very angry and ashamed, as do many.
