Let's see - we killed Saddam, then Gaddafi, and we're hot on the trail of leaders in Syria, Venezuela, and now Bolivia.
Why? Oil - oil - water/oil, oil, and lithium, respectively.
You may buy the BS which claims the US supports "free markets", but I don't. The US steals what it wants, and kills anyone who gets in the way. You can read all about it here (but I'm not recommending you buy anything from Amazon):

By the way, happy Veteran's Day. Being a veteran myself (Army and Navy), I sincerely appreciate all the sacrifices my fellow veterans have made. But keep in mind our sacrifices haven't always been made for the purest of motives:
WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
