there was probably incentive for us to go there. plain n' simple. you can't expect any country who is going to take on such a massive effort (which would cost billions upon billions) to do it out of courtesy. what the incentive is, i don't know... oil? land control? whatever it is, it is the byproduct of helping to modernize a very barbaric portion of the world in the form that at least somewhat resembles a democracy.
