You can say that, but it doesn't make it true. Iraq was a sovereign state, and I'm sure the people in it thought they were in a state, where there was law, every bit as much as someone in Soviet Russia, or Communist China, would have thought that. Now the law might be draconian, and it might be arbitrary, but it's not an absence of government- it's merely a government we don't like. You might want to think about the fact that there are people in the world who would like to define the US as outlaws. After you've thought about that, you might like to think whether you want them acting like vigilantes (some of them already are, and quite frankly I don't like it very much, but I don't think the remedy is to become what I so dislike.)
