Well, maybe Iraq never went to war, although they did have a small altercation with Iran beginning in 1980, it lasted for 8 years and 2 million Muslims were killed. In 1990, Iraq invaded and attacked Yemen and the USA intervened and drove them out.

Why do you think the USA attacked Afghanistan in 2003? Because al-Qa'eda had killed 3000 Americans in the Twin Towers in New York and were most certainly planning more attacks on the USA, since they had been at war with various nations since 1969. But it's OK, syed mohammad ali, we know that Islam is a religion of peace.
