The war with Iraq started in 1990 when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. For 11 years the brutal dictator defied the UN and thumbed his nose at the world. Hussein also murdered hundreds of thousands of his own people. After the failure of the UN, GWB had the balls to stand up to Hussein and conduct a police action to remove him by force. 27 million people were freed.

The war with Afghanistan started on 9/ 11/ 2001 when the Twin Towers were attacked by Bin Laden's organization, which was given shelter by the Taliban.

Yes, Bin Laden is still on the run. The war against him is vital because it is an ideological war of Islamo-Fascism against freedom. It is a worldwide battle.
