So you're saying illegaly invading and creating war on sovereign nations is ok because it was in our own self interest? Murdering tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children is ok for the same reasons. Wow... what planet do you come from?
My post never uses the word "okay" or any other term that signifies approval or judgement of US foreign policy abroad. To answer your question, I come from planet Earth, where in the 20th century approximately 160 million people died in wars. Many of these people were innocent civilians, and the carnage was shared amongst governments with a wide range of political, economic and religious ideologies.
While their ideologies may have been different, they all share a common driving force: self-interest. Ignorance of this simple fact leads me to ask you a similar question: what planet do you think you live on?
By the way, you neglected to answer my question, so I'll pose it again:
I challenge you to name me 3 governments in the course of history that have been driven by anything but their own self-interest.
