Re=
For the sake of argument, I will accept your claim about Iraqi civilians’ death has contributed to suicide bombing. 
 
Let us pretend, Falluja, Haditha, and... Did not happen. 
 
No one was mistreated, and no child was raped. 
 
Still the US and it's allies bear reponsiblity. 
 
Resolution 1483 of the United Nations Security Council, 18 May 2003, gave the US/UK governments the joint and unified legal status of "Occupying Authority." This resolution calls on the CPA to "promote the welfare of the Iraqi people through the effective administration of the territory, in particular working towards the restoration of conditions of security and stability...”  
It furthers "calls upon all concerned to comply fully with their obligations under international law including the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Hague Regulations of 1907." The fourth Geneva Convention is entitled “Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War" and its 158 articles spell out the absolute responsibility of occupying powers to protect the life, health, and property of civilians. 
 
“The question still stands, and Iraqis are still being killed in increasing numbers. How many more must die before the architects of the ‘military solution’ for Iraq realize that the only sure way to reduce violence is to stop inflicting it?” 
 
The question here should not be why we are doing this. The question is; why don't you?
