No, the huge civilian death tooll came about because these countries cannot govern themselves. We invaded Afghanistan because the Taliban (the ruling government at the time) did absolutely nothing to stop al-queada planning the 9/11 attacks. If these countries cannot stop their own people from planning attacks on America then America has every right to try to stop them.

Please don't pretend that these countries were any better before we got there.
