He's great, but this is all very hypothetical. We don't live in a libertarian world. But if western leaders at least had some common sense and strategic / diplomatic experience, this whole thing could have been avoided easily. We're close to peak stupidity in that sense.

But what if there are forces (military complex, ex-colonial interests, russian nationalism etc, the credit cycle) that reaaaaally wanted and need that war?

This is the logical position. Saying we don't live in a libertarian world is a cop out. If people take the mafia at their word instead of their actions I don't know if they can see reality.
It is obvious that the US picks which "evil" regimes to support and which to fight. That alone isn't my issue. My issue is that if you do that you can't claim to support war on humanitarian grounds. Its just bullshit.
