neither the country of Iraq nor Afghanistan was a direct threat to the US No, they were just harmless little enclaves of playful people just pretending to be building more and more anti-US sentiment.
Saddam would have just backed down and let the inspectors in eventually and the Taliban in place in Afganistan would have just said, "Oh, 9/11 was just a one-time deal..we won't do it again." Right?

sorry but afghanistan did not attack the US on 9/11 nor did Iraq. a terrorist organisation (not a government) did this.
i guarantee you that 80% of the people living in afghanistan didn´t even know that a country like the USA only exists bevore the “war”. nor did they want to attack you. by “our” definition they are all total religious lunatics. and i agree. but believe me the standart afghani could care less about the US if Nato wasn´t there. they want to live like in the 6th century? Ok fine for me i don´t care. just tell em “we” let you as long as you don´t harbour people who want to kill us all (terrorists). if you do face the consequences. (bomb the crap out of them and don´t care about local casualties). but as long “we” try to start nation building in a region where people would rater die before they would want to live in a democracy like ours we have allready lost.
