I would not, for two reasons. First, considering that "helping" means trying to kill people (and maybe getting killed), I would have to count any doubt as running against the government, not for it. That's not the sort of thing you just take on faith. This is in addition, of course, to the fact that I consider government basically untrustworthy.

Second, in this particular case, the facts are clear enough and are available to everybody. America launched an unprovoked war of aggression.
