This is really stupid. First of all there is a difference between terrorist attacks and the use of legitimate military force by a sovereign country against another country (or ahainst terrorists, for that matter). If you can't grasp that difference I can only conclude ypu despise international law and civilization in general.
As for the US attacking countries "without reason": Afghanistan provided the base for horrendous terrorist attacks against the US. Virtually the whole world acknowledged that the US was right in invading Afghanistan and had very good cause to. As for Iraq, it was in breach of its cease-fire obligations and the resumption of hostilities in 2003 was thus fully justified. Would you have preferred endlessly bombing Iraq (like during the 90's)?
As far as I know, there was no threat to the US from Iraq, and thus no reason to invade.
Iraq posed a constant threat to its neighbours; refused to fulfill its cease-fire obligations; and engaged in anti-US plots. Sufficient reason to end the regime and its threat once and for all.
