The Russians were trying to "occupy" Afghanistan. We liberated a UN sanctioned country that was starving and needed medical supplies. That said country (Saddam, Iraq) was in violation of said sanctions and had previously invaded Kuwait to "take it over".....Saddam also gassed 180,000 Kurds in a mass genocide. We are THERE to SUPPORT a fragile democracy. What part of all of this don't you Anti Americans understand? Iran has a fanatical state run by Religious fanatics bent on destroying the only DEMOCRACY in the middle east via Proxies. The US is damned if we do, Damned if we dont. Look at the history and the facts are allways the same. The US is allways trying to help support freedom so maybe, just maybe someday......The world may be more peaceful if the bad guys are gone.
