I can list many more if you care.
Even the wars that are going on that you mention are not exactly those peoples choices.
The civilians in Iraq didnt ask to be invaded, nor did the civilians in Lebanon or the ocupied teritories pick a fight they cant millitarily win.

You say you dont care about what some people did a decade ago, well I have news for you, its what happened decades ago that determined what the world is like right now.
Donald Rumsfeld who you are apeing in this thread(with his retarded fascism comments) a few decades ago visited Saddam hussein when the entire world was aware that saddam was a piece of .... that tortured and killed his own people, shook saddam's hand and called him a great friend and ally of the United States.
When Saddam gassed an entire Kurdish village(Hallabja) and irani soldiers the US had to protect their ALLY in the middle east and the CIA was isseud a statement blaming Iran for that atrocity(yeah like Iran will use Mustard gas on their own soldiers).

Knowing that, isnt it safe to say that yes we do need to be aware AND care about what happened a day ago, a year ago or decades ago?
Disregarding even that, the hipocrasy in your reasoning and argumentation defies belief.
You say you dont care what a group did 10 years ago or a 100 years ago and then you bring on an event from over 60 years ago to build on your argument(or lack thereof).

To me it seems like the current administration achieved their goals with you, frighten people into submission so they do not question their actions.
I pity you and your and your inability of independant thought.

PS feel free to check up on the historic events I mentioned here, they are all publicly known yet rarely mentioned by the so called liberal media.
