4. The top two pictures are from the 1950s

Doubtful they are representative of the early 2000s.

There was no excuse for our 2003 invasion, but showing 50 year old pictures to make a point is intellectually dishonest.

5. I did not realize that the first pair of pics I posted was older. I have replaced the older pair

The more recent set is, if anything, more horrifying in the degree of destruction they represent.
