Wait. Are you saying that all we have to do to get oil is kill some of the nastiest bastards on the planet? Probably not your best argument for peace...

If killing the nasty bastards brings peace, what's your objection?

Based upon the past behavior of the United States regarding foreign policy, it became almost commonplace for us to covertly apply our influence in order to affect changes in government.  We’ve all seen enough CIA movies to know that the U.S. just doesn’t come clean and announce its intentions in regards to a conflict; we work in very clandestine ways. 

But lately, it seems the times have dramatically changed. 

In this day and age, it appears the U.S. picks a side, justifies it under humanitarian reasons which sounds a lot better than saying...
