Will someone please remind me what we are doing there?

It can’t be to bring the people American-style freedom . . . since they don’t seem interested. Which is fine. It’s their country. They are entitled to love it and govern it. And no one from there has attacked the mainland United States in more than a decade.

So, why are we there?
