You just stereotyped the opinions of the citizens of a superpower.

Your government found out what happened when it decided to invade Iraq illegally in 2003. Now, consider what could have happened if George Bush decided to abide by the UN Security Council's decision and not invade. An awful lot of people would still be alive today that aren't.
If the USA had not invaded, Saddam Hussein and his psychopathic sons would still be alive and an awful lot of people would be dead.

Saddam Hussein needed to be removed but he needed to be removed for the right reasons, rather than the bullshit that your government produced as a Casus belli.
That's having it both ways. Admit that Hussein had to go, but then quibble about how it should have been done. Which is another way of doing nothing forever while you wait for some amorphous "moral" reason that never eventuates to do anything. How about the genocide in Rwanda? The UN "peacekeepers" stood inside their compounds and looked through the fence while two million people were hacked to death with machetes. The UN could not find the appropriate "cassus beli."
