And that is the fallacy in your argument. The US did not create the situation, Saddam and the Baath party did.
While it is clear that the second amendment was written with the intent that a citizen militia would take the place of a standing army, the crux of the NRA's argument (and it may interest you that I am not a member) is that the second amendment protects the rest of the Bill of Rights. The theory is that a totalitarian regime cannot take a foothold in a society with an armed populace, which values its freedom. Because that cannot happen anarchy is prevented.
Iraq had a totalitarian regime based upon fear of the citizenry, already in power.
Please notice, Pongo, that I expressed my view without calling anyone an idiot or brainwashed, and as I am an optimist and have great hope that you can elucidate your argument coherently, without resort to sophomoric tactics….
