Invade Who? U.S. Invasions have been generally been motivated by several causes:

- National Security- If a country is believed to be a direct threat to America's safety (such as possessing WMD's or Harboring terrorists) it could be a target for invasion

-To Protect Allies- Many wars such as Vietnam or the Korean War were fought to protect American Allies, and keep a reputation of protecting those who are friendly to America.

-To contain communism- The policy of containment caused a lot of wars

-To get resources- Unfortunately, a lot of our wars (especially the earlier ones) were to obtain resources or territory from weaker nations
