Case in point: Look at the Iraq war. The first things done after winning the war was stabilize the oil production, and take over the central banks, and for US companies to rebuild all the destroyed buildings.

It's all for profit.

If it had anything to do with humanitarianism, the US would've stepped in in Rwanda in the 90s. But there was no profit there, so they let millions die.
