What problems aboard? How about 9-11 and the threat from Al Queda stating it was only the beginning? Do you honestly and sincerely think that if the United States did nothing after that event that we would be better off? Do you honestly and sincerely think that the world with Sadaam Hussein is a better place than it is without it? I understand where you are coming from with certain points, but looking at the overall picture, I can't deny what we did was correct, initially. Now, I agree that it's excessive and taking too long, but initially, I still agree with the decisions that wre made.
There is nothing wrong with being an environmentalist MJ, but when it clouds every waking decision of your life, that's when I personally have a problem with it. It's important, but so are a lot of other issues.

Al-Qaeda =! Iraq
Now that that's out of the way...

The United States? What do you mean by "did nothing?" Don't group Afghanistan and Iraq together.
If the U.S. had not invaded Iraq? Yes. We would Easily be better off.
As for Iraq, the Iraqis themselves are just in a different kind of fucked up situation than before. Instead of a dictator, they have a three-sided civil war going on, which includes hired mercenaries killing their people. U.S. presence there has not improved their situation, just changed it.
