Geez, I hate to sound like a mercenary but WTF? We're always the first to jump in and protect people around the world, FOR WHAT?
Look at the first time we went in there to save Kuwaits ass. They're a wealthy nation, it cost us billions, what did we get for it? Not even a thankyou.
Now we're doing it again. Costing us lives, bucks,hardship - for nada, it's not even appreciated.
We need to get some payback for this, and the logical currency is oil. I'm sick of being taken for a CHUMP.
It really pisses me off.
And I do know that there are moral, and security issues that require some action on our part - but something has to be done to give something back TO US, FOR A CHANGE
