Given that we didn't HAVE any reasons other than personal gain and revenge, yes, it will be hard to convince them that there was another reason we went in...
Oh, and Bush's conduct in Liberia is disgusting. Here a nation is BEGGING for our help, and DESPERATELY needs it... so what do we do? Nothing. Nothing, and let them kill eachother for weeks and weeks. Great job there in helping secure a vital part of restoring West African peace... it is truly dispicable that Bush hates peacekeeping so much that he refuses it where we need to use it most.
A very similar situation exists in Afghanistan. We DESPERATELY need to send in a full peacekeeping force to secure the whole nation and not just the capitol... but this idiot and his anti-peacekeeping (except in Iraq where he had to be quite literally forced into it once his idiotic delusions of cheering crowds hit the rocks of reality) foreign policy, mixed with his total disdain and clear hatred for the rest of the world's opinions, has done nearly irreparable damage to our world standing, the chances of anyone cooperating with us, and any chance for true peace in Afghanistan. I just hope Liberia turns out better... but I won't hold out much hope. Not with this guy in charge.
Oh, and yes, we should look much deeper into Saudi involvement. The fact we buy a lot of oil from them, of course, will make that never happen... but it REALLY should.
