I think the answer he was looking for was "because the UN authorized it"
The US will do whatever we need to protect our national interests, but that doesn't detract what we did for Kuwait. We didn't go their to take over their oil, we simply restored their country and ensured a crazy dictator didn't gain control or threaten the world's major oil supply.
Sounds like a good reason to go and good result to me.
