Most of our decisions in the Middle East, in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Iran helped the Saudis, and other oil producing countries by increasing the prices of oil. A geopolitical missteps one after the other. We justified by using the unclear phrase of "America's Strategic Interest".
The problems in the Middle East and other parts of the world is caused by the high oil prices. The extra funds support terrorists all the time somewhere.
We pay high prices for oil, and we pay high prices to defend ourselves against terrorism. Let us break the cycle.
