The ideology of the neoconservatives who fabricated the war was plain and simple: America must the be the world's superpower at all costs. This implies backup governments that are friendly to American interests, regardless of their political affiliations. There is nothing naive about that, it is simply perverse and disregards all concerns for human life or regional peace.
