Well, if two British policeman had been murdered on the streets of London by foreign fighters who then went on to demolish a prison to free some of their number, I think you'd be pretty weed off as well, and your protests would certainly not be 'ironic'.

Likewise, just because we kicked out Saddam in the name of freedom and democracy doesn't mean the Iraqis are somehow to be laughed at when they notice the lack of, er, freedom and democracy, and that the liberation has magically turned into an occupation.
