Iraq is not being liberated. It was liberated, and now we are trying to clean up the aftermath. I'm not sure but I don't think even after the front line moved on to Germany, that the US and UK subjected their soldiers who where accused of crimes to French courts. I'm guessing they did not. If they didn't (and that's very likely) it didn't make their soldiers "above the law". France was a scene of conventional warfare, while Iraq is a guerrilla/insurgency/terror/low level civil war conflict, but the overall point doesn't change just because the tactics and strategy of the two sides is different.
