Oh, let me.

Why did we invade another sovereign nation and displace its government? 
(Because we put Saddam Hussein in power during Reagan and just didn't like 
him any more?)

Imminent threat to our nation.  (Bitch, please.)

Ties to 9-11. (Nope.)

Is it the troubles we are experiencing now?

If so, the US has experienced similar troubles in the past, namely in 
post-WWII Germany and Japan.  The New York Times back then had several 
articles on the subject of  our "losing victory".  Here are some quotes from 
Life magazine, January 7, 1946 titled "Americans Are Losing the Victory in 
Europe": -snip-

Did you actually find that reading the original article on microfilm at the 
library?  I doubt it.

I don't doubt the content.  Go to Europe, and if you can, find someone who 
lived through that time (I was able to!) - and see what they think of 
American soldiers.  Actually, go to Germany now and ask them.  We've had a 
base there since then.  Hope you like profanity.  There is no mystery why 
they have a low approval rating in the communities they are in (and just 
Google up Japan American military okinawa if you want a confirmation).

It's not then.  It's now - and every time we have tried to impose our will 
on another nation.  Occupations are like that.
