Reasons for entering a war are not always the same as the causes of wars.

In which case you should either stop identifying yourself as a Republican or claiming that you have an "interest" in history and then pointing to the "lessons" of the past.
In regards to the former, the GOP has made a priority out of promoting freedom abroad. If you're going to ignore that priority because you don't like the president or you don't like the people who might benefit in the short run from American intervention you're being inconsistent (at best).
In regards to the latter, if you're going to talk about the "lessons" of history (which you often do), but then ignore the "lessons" of taking a head in the sand approach to regional conflicts in the era of modern warfare you're being intellectually inconsistent (at best).
