I find the idea of trying to use a cloak or moral superiority to be objectionable.
Bottom line: We invaded Iraq because we could. They lost. So they will suffer.
If they wanted a better shot at life they should have been born somewhere else.

We didn't go to Iraq to fight the Iraqi people. We went to Iraq to topple Saddam and his regime. So civilian deaths are significant, though I do agree that it's not our job to conduct body counts. That's best outsourced to someone else while we do what needs to be done in other realms.
