It was Iraqi money, but the people spending it were Americans or American controlled. At the point Iraq was under direct occupation control. The fact we saw it as play money because we seized it from the Iraqi government "on behalf of the Iraqi people" and then splashed it around for fun is disgusting.

Please don't bring us into this. The American State is not representative of its subjects.

It is representive because it is a democracy. This sort of thinking you described is what leads to people skirting on their responsibilities.
