There were a mixture of motives in going in. It was not purely humanitarian, but that does not mean that humanitarian considerations were not in the mix. They certainly were for me, in supporting the action.

And maybe it wasn't "purely" corporate considerations. But that doesn't mean that corporate considerations didn't play a very large part in our decision to invade a sovereign country with huge natural resources that had done nothing to the United States.

It is disingenous to promote "humanitarian concerns" as an argument, and to refer to corporate considerations as "ludicrous". I am certain that big business interests ALWAYS outweigh humanitarian concerns in our nation's foreign policies.
