Who made the rules? Just wondering....
And, yes, the US
can do whatever they want with Iraq. A big man
can punch a smaller man if he wants to. Your idea that the strongest can just take whatever he can "win" sounds a bit weird. If that was true, then couldn't I just go and e.g. take a man's car if he can't resist. The car would be the "spoils of war" and my property.
The fact that something is the way it is doesn't make it right, and also doesn't make it less important to debate the issue. It's a lousy excuse for anything that "that's just the way things are".

It was his for a while. Then a bigger group of barbarians came along and kicked him out.

According to your logic war seems to be an ok thing. Isn't the Palestinians then only trying to be the group of barbarians to kick Israel out?
