I'll offer the standard excuse given when asked the question of "why?" --
Why not?
(I'm beginning to think that was our government's entire rationale, too. "Why not?" isn't an acceptable objective for a war, and it shows.)

An excuse? Why do they need an excuse, the American military was as justified as the Allies were for going into Nazi Germany. The government killed citizens of the country in mass genocides, invaded neighboring states, denyed its own people fundamental human rights, and posed at threat to regional and world stabiltiy.

An extra-special worthless prize will be awarded to anyone who can find an item in the above list that wasn't actively encouraged and assisted by the US government of the day.
