The US wants oil, the middle east has oil. If they find ANY REASON AT ALL to go in and take over your country- they do it. They know nobody will drop any kind of nuclear bomb like @
Jason said. Nobody will push the U.S. back because of their power and allies. So they walk in and take what they want at the cost of some "911 terrorist attacks" and sending a few troops to your country. End of Story. Thats what is going on. No matter what you say thats what everyones answer basically means.
This is why I live in INDONESIA, nobody cares about anything going on here.
