RadiationBoy, what is happening now in Iraq is nothing compared to what Iraqi people used to suffer under Saddam's regime. The actions of one or two rouge US soldiers are the actions of a very small minority of US soldiers, and are universally condemned by Americans.

Whether or not you agree with the war is another matter, but I think it can honestly be said that the majority of coallition troops respect the Geneva convention, and do not engage in acts of torture or abuse.

The same, unfortunatly, cannot be said for the majority of the Iraqi people. Not only do they brutally murder CIVILLIANS, but the majority of Iraqis, and even Muslims living in the western world, seem to consider it something to cellebrate!

If US soldiers slaughtered a single civillian as a deliberate act of retalliation, there would be a major outcry from the public, and certainly no support. I think this clearly outlines the difference in the two cultures. War is one thing. A society which has no moral problems with murdering civillians in the name of their god, has some serious issues.
