I previously stated that motives weren't as important to me as results. I saw injustice in the way Afghanistan was being overrun by the Russians and the same thing in Kuwait. The REASON the US showed up in either situation isn't nearly as important to me as the fact that the right thing was done both times. However, in the case of Afghanistan, we didn't do nearly enough (as in nothing) after the war was over and it has shown to have been a very poor decision.
