Given the US corporate and evangelical footprint on the continent [see "Warlord Politics and African States" by Reno and "Violent Environments" ed. by Nancy Lee Peluso and Michael Watts] and the behavior in Iraq, it would be naive in the extreme to think the Bushies are doing any of this out of altruism.
