Neither Israel nor America is at war with Afghanistan or Iraq. America is allied with both countries, fighting rebels from within.
Without coalition troops, those two countries would have collapsed a while ago.

technically the arguement there can be used to invade China and stop the Chinese government from oppressing the people of Tibet.
and you can use it to invade Israel for oppressing the Palestinians.
and probably many more conflicts besides.
the ONLY reason to make up such a stupid reasoning for wars, is IMPERIALISM.
America wants to FORCE its values and economic system ONTO these nations. (knowning America its religion too)
not only are many of americas values awful and its economic system corrupt, but no nation will ever fully support them if they are forced on them in this way.
essentially its pointless imperialism, that, like all imperialism will eventually fail.

Yes, fuck America for wanting to introduce democracy and safe living to oppressed citizens of military dictatorships.
America wants nothing of the sort, by the way. All it wants is allies in the region, to ensure its own safety. And if it so happens that they need to introduce democracy and friendly governments in the Middle East, I fail to see how that's a problem.
America's economic system (which, like it or not, is the best system we have) is used now by the large majority of the world. Pretty much all of the Americas, all of Europe, India, China (even if it claims to be Communist), Russia... in fact, everyone except North Korea, Cuba and a few Middle Eastern countries. Capitalism is rooted into all of the economic systems of the world, and barring a massive economic catastrophe (worse than the Great Depression. Much worse), it's not going anywhere any time soon.
What do you propose as an alternative? Communism? Anarchy?
Oh, and I agree with you on the religion. America's been razing all of the mosques in Iraq and Afghanistan and building churches. Oh, wait.
