American soldiers, or the LEGAL ARMED COMBATANTS in any conflict, are protected from what the Iraqis did by the Geneva convention. Saddam's kids are not armed combatants. Whether you agree with the war and it's outcome or not, the fact is that the US now occupies Iraq and a provisional government is being set up. The Hussein boys (and Saddam for that matter) are instigating and contributing to the destruction of that government and the killing of American soldiers. The situations are entirely different. The only thing there is in common here is that there are photos of dead people in both instances.
