Then using your logic, as detbuch said, the Chinese are ultimately responsible for white cops killing unarmed blacks, because they invented gunpowder.

When you decide if someone is responsible for something or not, the abiity to foresee the consequences is part of it.

For example, when the CIA helped the Afghan rebels fight the Soviets, I don't know that anyone was warning the president that if the Soviets were driven out, the rebels might pose a greater threat than the Soviets. i don;t think that was foreseable.

When Bush invaded Iraq, there absolutely were concerns that removing Hussein could make way for a more dangerous threat to emerge. Bush went ahead anyway, so he deserves some culpability for the rise of ISIS.

And when Obama announced he wa sgoing to oversee a complete withdrawal, all kinds of people warned that we needed to leave behind a sufficient force to keep the peace, but Obama was confident that because everyone adores him, it would all be OK. The facts show who was right and who was wrong.
