Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at September 28, 2003 08:35 PMIsrael's Sharon regards Hamas as an obstacle to peace and has regularly attacked them.
George Bush regards Iraq as a major obstacle to peace and therefore attacked it.
I don't think the problem is with Reuters.

Hussein was a threat of war.
Explain how jews living in trailers are an enemy or threaten war.
