1. The wars have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians.

In both of this wars, the biggest damage has been done to the civilian population that didn't had any responsibility whatsoever for the actions of the governments/leaders. Apart from the huge amount of deaths, millions of people have migrated or are trying to migrate to other more developed and safer countries.

The wars have been heavily sponsored by the budgets of the countries involved, and trillions of dollars that could have been used for good causes, war spent on creating wars that don't seem to have any positive effect.
