>>Seems that Iraqis are much more civilized than US portraited<<

I regard Iraqis as civilized, but I did expect more torture and gas. However, it is the standard procedure for a country to protect its civilian population from invaders. It is not generally considered the responsibility of the invaders to protect civilians. Once again, the world turns a blind eye to this inversion of morality.

Here the Iraqis are using mosques as forts, civilian shields, and the US is taking losses trying to avoid civilian destruction. I don't hear one peep of criticism of the Iraqis from Europe or the anti-war movement.

Please don't say we were not invited to Iraq. There was no freedom of press to invite us. Soon we'll see how welcome we are. We do know the people in Halabja did not invite Saddam.
