We focused on Iraq because the Neo-cons that held the reigns of power wanted Iraq and were foaming at the mouth for it for years.
Not smart.

The neo-cons could have more easily had Iraq in 91 during the first Gulf War.

We focused on Iraq because Afghanistan is not nearly as threatening to Israel as Iraq was.
That's true in as much as Afghanistan is not nearly a threat to ... well, ANYONE, that Iraq was. There's practically no resources and economy to speak of and no real benefit to building a nation there.

The fact that you single out Israel is foolish and exposes your ideological ignorance and bias, considering the same statement could be made regarding any nation on the planet.

We focused on Iraq because of WMD's (Weapons made of dreams) and for humanitarian reasons.
Yeah, that's right - Iraq never had WMDs, and never used them.

You're in la-la land. It was all just dreams.

Arguable, they didn't have weapons at the time of the invasion. Either way, the suspicion was no way unfounded.

Forget that in Africa Genocide is common.
Stellar logic: if you can't help them all, don't help any.

Good one.
