Geopolitics was made an issue because the respective business groupings hoped to get foreign muscle in on their side, and after the fact because the Bush Administration, which had had no foreign policy successes whatsoever other than Russian (and sub voce Iranian) help in Afghanistan, needed some example to say that its "democracy promotion" policy was working.
