It seems to me that no matter what happens the US is always wrong in the rest of the world's eyes. If we weren't waging this War on Terrorism, other world leaders would be saying that the US needs to do something before another major terrorist attacks happens. In the case that we are doing something, everyone acts like the US is very evil and just wants to control the world.

The US has not exactly singled out Iraq, as Bush named both Iran and North Korea as part of the Axis of Evil, Iraq is just the first country that we are doing something about. Also, the US's past history with Iraq has caused our focus to be on them first. Not to mention that Saddam has been harbouring terrorists that are related to/members of Al-Qaeda, who were behind the attacks on September 11th.
