Revolutionary War- Fight for Independence.
War of 1812- British attacked us, for reason unknown for me.

Vietnam War- We lost, but it was mostly a Military Police thing.
First Gulf War- Reasons still unknown to me.

So as you can see most of the wars were to protect others and/or we were invaded first.

My opinion on politics as it relates to war is that you're always wrong if you fight it. Maybe so-called "terrorists" see themselves as being as good as you do? If you go in and interfere with the country they are associated with, are you really any better than them?
