Although I dont know how the hell we got from looking for Osama in Afghanistan to looking for Saddam in Iraq.. It did do some good. Both countries we attacked, are also getting better. We are banishing the Taliban, and giving people more freedoms. Seeing an Iraqi soccer team for the 2004 Summer Olympics really made me proud of this country. "If America was a cake, it would be a big ass chocolate cake with extra frosting... AND EVERYBODY LOVES CHOCOLATE CAKE!" - Rough quote from that one movie. But really, being the most powerful country in the world, it is our right, and our duty to help out other countries that are totally screwed up & less fortunate. We're not doing this for ourselves, but we still gain respect. We also shouldnt expect anything back from the countries because they cant help themselves in the first place. If its not worth the lives lost, then US could've increased it's security even more instead of just attacking Iraq.. Well thats my .02.
