The key phrase again is *defending our interests*. Those interests (oil) are not the same as defending our country from attack. That's what I was talking about. And I do believe you can outline what can be defended. The U.S. was the aggressor here. We weren't defending ourselves from physical attack, but from economic threats. Big difference.
