In Europe, the abuses on Iraqi prisoners seems less of an outrage than the very fact of having invaded a country, unprovoked. In the US, it looks like it's the opposite, which is ok with me.
It shows one thing:
There's an expression in french: "Qui vole un oeuf, vole un boeuf" (Whoever steals an egg, steals an ox).
Meaning that a president who attacks a country for unspecified and unprovoked reasons (and it seems acceptable) is sufficiently infamous to let other kinds of felonious acts being committed and one of them could fianlly hit the imagination of concerned people (those who vote for him).
