Trying to work out which invasion you are thinking of. Neither Iraq nor Afganistan were triggered by dictators invading other countries. Vietnam was triggered by a dictatorial invasion but the US were essentially invited in. There have been lots of minor invasions in between but I'm struggling to place which one you mean.

- tptacek 10y agoGulf War 2 was a continuation of Gulf War 1, which was prompted by Hussein's invasion of Kuwait --- in which Iraq annexed the entire country of Kuwait. I'm choosing my words carefully when I say this was the worst instance of the USA invading another country. Gulf War 1 was justified, if any war can be justified --- you don't get a much clearer casus belli than invading and annexing an ally. Gulf War 2 was a disaster of world-historical proportions.
