I don't think we do it because we fear them, though it definately plays a part, I think one ofthe major reasons is to stop the murders of millions of people. I think humanity is probably the biggest reason why we send troops out to stop tyranical leaders, though sometimes we have to find a way to make the public think of them as a threat so there isn't much opposition for us to pay a little visit. Like with WWII we had to be attacked before the public would recognize the Axis as a threat to us and let us go to war, despite how badly FDR wanted to join the war.
