It's not hypocrisy, it's misinformation. After all, the American public wasn't told they're gonna invade $middle_eastern_country for their economic interest, but for freedom. And the (US side) costs of war are borne by all taxpayers, while the benefits accrue to a handful of corporations. I'd wager that, taken together, these costs outweigh the benefits. But the (rarely named by the media) corporations don't bear much of the costs. As for CIA coups, well, they don't get much air time in the 24-hour news cycle, do they?
