That’s what it was 100% about.    

An afterthought: I can hear the retorts, loud and cacophonous, now: the United States has an “admirable” history of not pursuing aggrandizement of territory, the lands of others.

But you see, occupying foreign lands would bring with it the commensurate burden of governance and all that entails. Much better to reap the spoils provided by a government friendly to our business interests: voila, no ongoing burden, other than ensuring the tinhorn dictators never forget by whose beneficence they retain their hold on power.  

And is it mere coincidence that in almost every instance it has been the national leaders of the Republican Party, governmental and business, under whose aegis the skullduggery was promulgated and effected?   However I feel Representative Ron Paul is rather naïve on a number of issues, on this one I agree wholeheartedly: the idea that we would be best served by concentrating on our own limited national interests, and staying the hell out of the affairs of others. I’m still looking for a clear case of how messing where we shouldn’t a been a messin’ has inured to our long-term benefit.
