Well Thoran, blowing bridges in a time of war is hardly scorched earth policy or destructive spite - that has been a time honoured tactic over millenia and is just good common sense - frustrate thine enemy. Dams a little less so, but that didn't stop the Allies doing it in WWII.
I do agree though, that they (Iraqii's) have a history of destructive spite - Kuwait certainly showed that.

I'm glad you put in that last sentence, else I would have been forced to point out that burning oil fields are the literal epitome of a scorched earth policy.
