Your analogy makes it seem like US forces went on a rampage, shooting everything that moves and carpet-bombing cities into dust. Quite the opposite happened, really. That's certainly making a mountain out of a molehill.
How so? I'll clarify a bit by saying that Bush is the bomber, the guy hoarding weapons is Saddam and the neighbours of Saddam are his citizens. Haven't more citizens been killed than army troops? I think that's fact, but I'm not sure. I could be wrong on that account. Either way, the analogy still works.
