Do you believe the violence would have happened without the US invasion?

Probably not the same violence. But Saddam would have kept genociding the Kurds if he stayed in power. And maybe launched another war against Iran.

So local carnage (which the US happily watched prior, and supports Turkey perpetuating) versus carnage spanning the whole region.
