What has WWII to do with the British retreat in Iraq until summer next year?

Judging by the dominance and stubborness by which WWII and Nazi Germany enters most discussions on very different themes, I must conclude that some people have not yet learned that the war is long since over and that the Federal Republic is no Fourth Reich.

The SAS operation referred to in some postings, by all what I could find and also remembered, was no arbitrary terror strike. These two SAS members were no trigger-happy Blackwater mercenaries going lose in manhunter's paradise. In fact the Brits tried to relieve a situation around the prison from unacceptable conditions. It went wrong and later they had to use open force, paying with a negative PR score therefore. If there were alternatives for a more promising way of solving the situation in that prison, none of us can judge.
