If by "western Europe" you mean the UK and Poland governments. I know you have a hard time seeing anything outside of the narrow US perspective, but "western Europe" was overwhelmingly against the Iraq invasion, especially if we're talking populations that were supposed to be cozened by propaganda.
Iraqi's destroyed their own country. At most the US was indirectly responsible, by removing the iron fisted tyrant that was the only thing keeping it from imploding. Again, I'm sure the religious fanatics and ethnic based militias who started killing and ethnically cleansing each other from their neighborhoods the minute they could were just innocent victims who hold no responsibility, despite being the cause of the vast majority of civilian deaths. They're just like children, if they misbehave it must be because of the parents, right?
