Well, this should probably go into Political Discussion if we're going to get any deeper, but the short version is that those wars were fought over the spread of Communism or a perceived threat to the American way of life (as a serious disruption to the oil supply could cause).
Freedom is only as good as your ability to hold onto it against external threats. Would communism had become a serious threat had we simply let it spread without a fight? Would the middle east be knee deep in a real multi-nation war had we left Saddam in power? We'll never know. Or never have to find out.
