Most of the countries in the Middle East resent our mere presence in their land, and we're supposed to go in there and tell them how to run their country and handle their problems? The fact is that we're already in a mess, and simply saying "respect traditional cultures" isn't going to promote peace and respect for each other. Oil is not an issue..simple as that.. UN sanctions have obviously done nothing to stop Saddam from oppressing his people.
