I'd say it was overall the best thing for Afghanistan's civil war, that the Northern Alliance (America's ally) won victory. The government that we tried to establish there was more civilized than the Taliban and didn't make women cover their face. Not that it is a government that will last, but still had better policies and more freedom.
I guess the good thing that happened in Iraq was we overthrew a mass-murdering Sunni Dictator and replaced him with a less severe Shia government. Not that it is going to last either without America there to police the place.
Supposedly we benefited from the oil. Can you give me any figures of how much America benefited from this resource or these two conflicts?
Overall we didn't benefit from either. But I'm sure you can find some exceptions to that rule, no?
