AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, IRAN

I am perfectly fine with wandering around the world and punishing people and governments for not controlling the actions of their citizens. If you make the mistake of establishing a state, you by definition are responsible for your people’s actions.

But you can’t teach the illiterate superstitious tribal inbreeding peasantry to adopt democratic government. It’s antithetical to them. Might as well try to train apes to play chess. And it’s just as likely to succeed.

But as other have said, it certainly feeds the military contractors, even if the soldiers don’t think it’s something that they should be doing. The purpose of soldiers is to kill people and blow stuff up.

Manufacturing civilization can’t be outsourced to a foreign contractor. It’s a purely domestic production process. 🙂
