We did take responsibility. When the world (UN) gave Saddam an ultimatum..then either didn't have the nerve to follow through or was blinded by their own financial interests....the US took responsibility....defeated a dangerous, sadistic regime in spite of the whining crybabies...and are now mopping up the remnants. The war has been very short and cost few lives...and Iraq is already better off and on their way to a democratic government.

Wow, awesome piece of fiction.
This is a completely one-eyed view of the US/UK invasion, and bears only a passing resemblance to the actual chain of events.
The UN wanted to keep going with inspections and didn't want the US to invade when it did. That wasn't the US "taking responsibility" - it is more like seizing the initiative. I realise you might see that as a positive... but it isn't.
Never forget that "defeating a dangerous, sadistic regime" was third and a long way trailing on a list of three reasons to invade Iraq, and the other two reasons - the ones the world were seeking more surety on - have proven pretty unfounded.
And finally, this bit:
"The war has been very short and cost few lives...and Iraq is already better off and on their way to a democratic government. "
It isn't finished, I don't consider the number of lives lost as few, and I see more anarchy than democracy for the moment, and a long road to the latter.
