O P T I O N S:
Choice 1: No. The USA went in with its eyes open. It was the perceiving subject and Iraq was the object of its perceptions. However, there is no subject-object dualism. So there was no USA to do the invading and no Iraq to be invaded.
Choice 2: Don't want to know. If, as perceiving subject, I were to make the US government the object of my perception, then (because there is no subject-object dualism), I would be indistinguishable from the US government. I would deserve blame for its actions.
Choice 3: Yes. Also, this "there is no subject-object dualism" stuff is nonsense and should not be brought into any discussion of a serious topic such as history, foreign policy, or free will.
Choice 4: None of the above.

The idea of this poll is to consider a tactic that was used in one debate, identify a general principle that the tactic is based on, and then assign to that principle a tour of duty that will win the hearts and minds of DUers. Or something.
From another discussion:
In natural sciences and according to the "laws" (more correctly habits) of physics there's no experience, no ego, no chooser, no subject-object dualism, hence there is no personal Free Will.
