Then stop watching the news. Forget about them. Return to your metropolitan utopia.
Rile up your impotent anger if you wish, such sentiments make for big bucks in the pockets of news agencies. Iraq doesn't concern you, despite what American patriotism and nationalism may incline you to believe. You are not a politician, you are not a general, you are a lawyer, go back to your law clients. Because for now, all you do is feed off've the scraps of slanted information thrown to you by news aganecies, perpetuating your addiction to an illusory sense of empowerment.
