I beleive. There has never been a war fought to liberate anyone - atleast not one that involves outside nations - certain civil wars have had that aim (though not really the American civil war)

England (and allies) didn't give a stuff about the Jews, Socialists, Gypsies etc suffering under the Nazi's, they worried about Nazi expansion.

Japan did not give a stuff about European colonial adventures in South East Asia, they just wanted to grab the loot themselves.

Vietnam wasn't liberating Cambodians from Pol Pot when the invaded, they were protecting there own territory

The fact that people were liberated after these conflicts was not the reason for the conflict, wars are fought for power, money and strategic influence, always have been and always will be.
