Benjamin Netanyahu projects the benefits of War in Iraq, 2002

"If you take out Saddam, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region. ... the first victory in Afghanistan makes the second victory in Iraq that much easier... and therefore I think that the choice of Iraq is a good choice."

5. Just when was that first victory in Afghanistan, again?

330 BC
Alexander the Great conquered Afghanistan in 330 BC as part of his war against Persia1. He invaded the region, which included the easternmost satrapies of Persia, and faced challenging battles in his conquest12. After the Battle of Gaugamela, Alexander conquered the remaining Persian provinces and began to capture Afghanistan3. His conquest of this rugged and fiercely inhabited region had a lasting impact4.
