I like how you spin "the self-interested actions of all parties benefits all". You so benignly spin those countries that opposed the war without ever mentioning that France, Germany, Russia, China, etc., all had participated in illegal arms sales to Iraq & had received extremely lucrative contracts in return from Saddam. Self-interest isn't a difficult concept. What do you not get about it? Argue if you want against the desirability of it as a guiding principle, but don't confuse an example of it with spin. Pursuit of self-interest isn't spinnable because it has no moral component beyond itself.
