or if the 'soldiers' (ordinary people) from both sides just stayed home, then neither would die. 
in this case, people from the USA went there.
I won't ever understand why masses of people will pick up weapons, travel to distant lands, and kill strangers just because they're told to.

They went there because they were told - this is the enemy and they have WMD and will attack us, if not now - they will in the future.
They were also told, but "suitably vaguely", that the "ememy" had some connection to "terrorists". That tale lives on in many, although the instigators of the tale side-step the issue and lie again.
The end result?? A mass murderer was captured. No WMD found, thousands of innocent men, women and children were killed, the country in shreds and the invaders can't get out quick enough before an election. Meanwhile, the instigators continue to lie on a daily basis in an attempt to justify their actions and seek help from other nations in extracting themselves from the region.
It's the same with the USSR in Afghanistan and the US in Vietnam, Somalia and most of the other places there was this need for an "adventure'.
