Call my a cynic but it all comes down to money.  People can say wars are for freedom or rights or god or country or magic beans as long as they put a nice spin on things, but it all comes down to money.  The North was going to (short-term) torpedo their economic backbone...or maybe not, unlike a lot of people who complain about stuff I tend to admit I don't know a lot about anything.
