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.

I don't usually reply to your posts because they are just random baseless mumblings but i will reply, because other readers might be interested in an honest and truthful opinion.
1979 was the year of the Iranian revolution, to overthrow the Shah, a dictator fully endorsed and supported by the USA. The Iranian people have a right to excercise their will, they did not want to be controlled by the USA and it's puppet dictator the Shah, so they removed him and installed an Islamic Republic. Are you saying the Iranians have no right to do this? It is their land, they choose who is in power, not you or your country.
On your Saddam bit, your hatred for the Iranian people shows clearly, by the fact you did not mention the thousands upon thousands of Iranians that were killed in the Iraq-Iran war that was started by Saddam, backed by guess who? Yes, the USA. It was ok then, wasn't it?
You also do not mention that, when "Saddam killed his own people", in your words, you do not mention, that when this happened, was during the Iran-Iraq war, WHEN HE WAS BEING SUPPORTED BY THE USA. The US didn't condemn it, the UK didn't condemn it. Why? Because we were all behind Saddam to fight the newly revolutionised Iranians, who had overthrown our dictator that we put there.
Facts will always be facts, fascists will always be fascists.
