Not because I have anything against foreigners, but their causes usually aren't mine. I can't for the life of me imagine why American soldiers would be fighting for Chavez and his dream of socialism.
States tend not to fight for vague and glorious causes. States tend to fight for their interests, which are not always, but largely tend to be economic in nature. The reason neither Bush nor any other conservatives can identify the "noble cause" that Bush vaguely referred to, but that Cindy Sheehan called him on and that Bush couldn't really specify, is that the Iraq War is and always was about oil.
