Well, there have been allegations of rape at Abu Ghraib, so maybe the differences aren't all that clear, but that isn't a point I was trying to make.
As for the American feelings of justification for this war, almost 50% of Americans still believe that there were Iraqis involved in 9-11, down from around 70% around the time of the build up to war. Perhaps this little bit of misinformation helps explain those feelings. Makes me want to weep with frustration.
