Let's face facts, Iraq had something the US wanted, the US went over to take it. Period. You know it, I know it. Everything else is propaganda so simple minds can sleep at night.
I'm a realist as well. I just don't happen to think it's the bees knees as you do.
BTW, Russia is already in Chechyna, and it's far more brutal then anything happening in Iraq. It is terrible but it doesn't involve Australia or have as big an impact on Australia as the Iraq war does.
