You use WWII and even WWI as an argument that our foreign interventions are driven by our values.

My point was about the last 40 or 50 years (post-WWII and coinciding with the mass development of the Military-Industrial Complex). I think that since that time, our interests have been more purely driven from a corporate agenda than a human rights one.

To suggest that GWB, who took glee in his execution record in Texas, who has put profiteering in Iraq before the lives of our own soldiers, who basically sanctioned the use of torture in dealing with our prisoners... is a Humanitarian...well, THAT is as ludicrous as is calling him an Environmentalist.
