I don't recall the righties complaining when the Bush Admin killed tens
of thousands of Iraqis during that trumped up war.

I guess I must not be a "righty"

just enabled the 20 years of Iraq war that followed.
You also ignore the 20,000 that Iraq says we killed between the Kuwait
liberation and the GW invasion, in the name of WMD inspections and
saving the Kurds. We were bombing them regularly in the supposed
decade of "peace" leading up to the invasion..

We've been slaughtering non-combatants non stop since the end of WWII.

Why are you limiting this to "after WWII"?

Do you think the 8th Air Force and the RAF were all that selective in
their bombing?
The US was at least trying to target defense industries with daylight
bombing and the over hyped Norden bomb site but Bomber Harris was just
opening the bomb bays and letting them go over anything he thought
might have a lot of Germans in it.
Once LeMay got to his B29s over Japan, we used napalm on their
population centers with very little regard to their lack of combatant
status.

This really goes back through the union army in our own civil war and
the conquest of the southwest, from the Indians and the Mexicans.

I'm aware of our bloody history.
