Iraq and Afghanistan were wars that the US should never have started

About the war in Iraq- If we went to war with every country that violated human rights we would be in a ton of wars. All over the world human rights are violated and the U.S. does little or nothing to stop this. If the U.S. wants to intervene in a place where there are human rights being violated I don't have a big problem with that. More countries should start being the policemen of the world though. We have been the policemen of the world for too long now and are too far in debt to keep spending all this money on foreign defense and aid. More countries need to pitch in and start helping. Back to the issue of the US intervening when human rights are violated. Why didn't we intervene in Rwanda where there has been 500,000 to 1,000,000 people killed? It's because there is nothing to gain economically there. You even said it yourself a reason we invaded Iraq was because of oil. We get most of our imported oil from Canada actually. In 2012 the US produced 39% of its own oil, got 20% from Latin America, 15% from Canada, and only 13% from the Persian Gulf. So as you see we are not really that dependent on the middle east for oil. Before Iraq Western oil companies could not get oil out of Iraq but after the war the big oil companies were in there. By the way we use chemical weapons on our own people and enemies too. Just read this article- http://www.policymic.com... So as you can see we do the things Hussein did, we just hardly hear about because it is covered up by the media, which is basically the government's propaganda machine. We also lied about the WMDs to make it seem like Iraq was a threat to America where in reality it posed little threat if any. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told us we know that Iraq has WMDs which was a complete lie. About the war in Afghanistan- 9/11 was an inside job done by the U.S government. The same government that staged gulf of tonkin to get us into vietnam. Most wars start with lies and this is just another case of this. There is a big amount of evidence to support that 9/11 was done by the government. The government claimed we just found a vein of lithium a couple years ago worth a trillion dollars. We most likely knew about this before the war started. Lithium is used in phones, computers, and electric cars. I'm sure that was a big reason we went there. Al Queda did 9/11, but the US did either let 9/11 happen or played a part in creating the event. You think if we went to war with Al Queda we could easily defeat them too. We are still there and why you ask? Because big corporation profit from war. This leads to my next point that America is run by corporations. The supreme courts ruled that Corporations now have the same rights as citizens and it has also ruled that money equals speech. Our political system is also based on bribery where corporations pay our democrats and republicans to do what they want. Congressmen actually gain more money back on their stocks than Warren Buffet does because these congressmen know what is going to happen with the stocks because they are best buds with the corporations. One more example is Tesla Motors, a growing electric car company that can't sell without restrictions in all 50 states. This seems like communism not capitalism to me. The reason we did this is because Tesla would hurt the big oil and car companies.
