That in no way defends or justifies what happened with Iraq war 2, where there certainly was not the same global support for it.
Either way, the suffering of the innocent people in every war is a tragedy, no matter if they are Ukrainian, Iraqi, Kuwaiti, etc. The people fleeing these conflicts deserve our sympathy, no matter their nationality, skin color, or religion. Even if they supported or voted for the leader, they didn’t ask for outright war and the human suffering that comes with it.
