Yes, Americans were absolutely elated at the civilian casualties incurred 
during the war in Iraq...  the equivalence you suggest is a figment of your 
imagination.

(For a well-written expose on one of the worst travesties carried out by 
the US military in Iraq, I suggest Hersh's essay in the New Yorker which I 
believe was published in the spring of 2000.)
