Ok so you consider keeping the Khmer Rouge in power a "good reason?"

  Invading a country as part of a strategy to support an ally is a lot better than just going in to fuck shit up and make things worse.

    I assume you're talking about the Iraq war? You don't think that was about supporting allies? (Saudi Arabia and Israel) (To be clear, I don't think any of these are good reasons)

      No, I don't. Iraq didn't pose any sort of threat to those allies. We made things way worse for them and it was entirely foreseeable. We invaded for some combination of stupid political reasons and revenge.
