Well, the US was not threatened by Iraq, while Russia had daily incursions of armed bands from Chechnya stealing livestock, goods and slaves from 1996-1999, plus an invasion by 2,000 mujaheedin in 1999. Israel at least has the excuse of suicide bombers and being surrounded by potential enemies, while the US has nothing but Mexico and the dreaded Canadian hordes. The US and Iraq is a case of unprovoked aggression.
