You can argue all you like that it was about Oil, but the US is only interested in securing self sufficiency at home. All it gains from oil bearing states is reconstruction contracts. That is a sdie effect, not a symptom or a cause.

As for your regime change argument, that is something that has to precede democracy. If only the US and the allies had a plan B and what next? programme.

The likes of Hussein and Qaddafi would have gone sooner or later anyway, but the allies did lack a post war plan. Not saying the aim was achieved or well thought through, just that restoration of democracy was the reason for going in.
Why is the USA "self sufficiency" bolstered by invafing countries on the other side of the world?

There ones in the list you could have selected and had a small chance to justify them but not these ones.

There are so many things wrong in your reply it is actually laughable.
