Juxtaposition. How can we expect the Muslim world, particularly Iraqi's to ever forgive us, not not forgive, but to hate us less after what we have done to their land and people ?

It's a curiousity that I never see questions like this about, say, the Japanese, when what America did to Japan was about a million times worse than what we have 'done' to Iraq. And I put done in scare quotes because 90% of the damage to Iraq has not been done at American hands, but at the hands of Saddam Hussein, who killed millions, and the hands of the criminals and insurgents that Saddam Hussein's money is still funding. Yet the expection is that Iraqis will be mad only at Americans, why?
