Hmmm, we helped Saddam (Iraq) against Ayatollah Komanei (Iran) because Saddam was the lesser of two evils, at the time. We helped the mujahideen (Afghanistan) against the communists (Soviet Union) because it was the lesser of two evils at the time.

Why the help then?? There are so many other countries in the world who would need the US's help? We help when money tells us to help... We probably won't go help a country where there's no money to make. There are many countries in Africa ruled by dictators but, the US government won't do anything about it...why? Because there is no need to spend money for a country which won't be profitable for us...

The war on terror is something with no alternative either. We either fight it or we bleed to death.
