I don't believe Cheney should be shot or put in jail. I believe the Bush administration "wanted" to go into Iraq, was looking for an excuse, and thought they had found it. That combined with some poor decision making made for a lot of very large mistakes.
Saddam has to take a huge part of the blame here too. When the world's most powerful country comes knocking at your door you need to let them in. Instead, he thought he could take on the United States military. The reality is that the United States beat Iraq with a single strike, the very first one - taking out a key communication center that quickly ended the ability of the Iraqi military and it's government to communicate.
