19. dumb analogy, because Iraq DIDN'T "walk into our store"...
Your friend casts Iraq as the armed intruder, which is perfectly absurd. This guy really needs to remember just who threatened and invaded whom.

A better analogy would be the paranoid sociopath who becomes obsessed with the idea that the upstairs neighbor is disrespecting him, and so breaks down the neighbor's door and tries to kill the neighbor and his family. The paranoid sociopath may feel his actions were justified, but obviously that doesn't mean that they were.
