If one is to engage militarily, might we as well point to some sort of material benefit? A war for oil to me might not be as folly as a War to spread democratic values.
Although Id agree with the first statement, in practice we never "billed" Iraq, did we? We aren't even getting much oil from them-most goes to china. Its one reason why I roll my eyes when people say we went to war for oil.
