Yes , Bush was definitely naïve selling democracy to bunch of nuts... putting aside his supposed motivations Iraq had an opportunity here after getting rid of of now so missed and loved Sadam Hussein.
Iran has great part in all the the mess as well...and now is pretending to be the reasonable side.

Bush made a big gambling mistake yet regarding the blaming war it is somewhat similar to Obamophobia and the usual political manipulation for masses from different perspective.
Besides that i always say...give some credit to the local people as well . People in the west have too high regard of themselves thinking they are guilty of everything.
It is almost? racist lol

I think it's more to due that the people and the regime have different ideas how one should live rather then the conditions the country is in. Iran (Persia) before the revolution was quite a modern society, the same can't be said about the policies of the ruling clerics you have now.

Yet the Islamic revolution happened no?
You also discard the sanctions right?
