Before people call the Iraqis terrorists, as if they are associated with such groups (except perhaps a very small percentage), you should realize that Saddam and Bin Laden hated each other (Saddam ran a secular government). Saddam didn't support Bin Laden, the given reason for invasion was for weapons of mass destruction.
Killing of children is sad, and based on the information given, it sounds like someone just lost self control. We invaded their country, it's theirs, we're the occupiers whether we agree with that perspective or not, the children were celebrating the death of an invader, they are just children, and should not have been attacked.
Regarding the earlier comment about US media, as a friend once told me, "all governments conduct propaganda against it's citizens, but Americans seem to be uniquely susceptible to it".
