Wasn't Somalia a fiasco, which the US troops pulled out of, leaving a shambles?

Balkans: sure they're happy: they were oppressed during the whole Milosevic regime and no-one cared. The US led an impressive campaign, but still the fallacy continues: people believe that armies can create peace.

What about the Gulf? Who or what did that ongoing (sic) war set out to protect? Why are 1000s of civilian Iraqis today dying for lack of medicine? Why were the kurds forgotten about? Who did the US help in that war?
