When fascism attacked us in WW2, we went to Normandy before going
after the Japanese directly because that is where the winning strategy
led us.

Uh, no. Japan attacked the US. The following day, the US declared war on
Japan. Three days later, Japan's ally Germany declared war on the US.

In contrast, Iraq's conduct in the aftermath of 9/11 included neither a
declaration of war on the US, nor an invasion of the US. The strongest link
you appear to be making between Iraq and the 9/11 attackers is that they
share the same religion. They were in fact enemies of one another, not
allies; Saddam Hussein was precisely the sort of secular, US-supported Arab
ruler that al Qaeda despised.

Their ultimate goal is to unify Islam under a restored Caliphate and
proceed on their god given mission of world domination.

Uh, can you attribute that goal to *Iraq*? On what evidence? "Protocols of
the Elders of Islam"?

Likewise, Falujah should have been flattened.

It is trivial to rationalize whatever mass atrocities you'd like to commit
if you allow yourself to simply proclaim, without evidence, what your
targets' motives and plans are.
