I don't mean to assume that "the other side" would do that, if you mean the other side in Iraq.
I mean there America, and Americans, at least some of them, are still more noble than some other countries. There have been, as CMZ mentioned, mass graves. There has been a Holocaust. There have been prison/death camps (you can compare Guantanamo Bay if you wish, but I suggest that such a comparison would be ridiculous). There are suicide bombers. Haven't people been driven over by tanks in China in the past? And jailed for speaking against the government? And haven't certain cultures (Taliban, for instance) demeaned and oppressed women?
You can say the U.S. does similar things, or is -going to- in the future, but I'm just saying there are certain large differences in the United States' heritage and history as compared to most other countries in the world.
