I don't like the idea of the U.S. meddling around in the ROW either, but until this nation gets off its butt and starts developing MEANINGFUL renewable energy alternatives, we're going to be dependent on oil with all of the baggage that goes along with it (infidels on holy soil, etc.)
I don't like this either, but can certainly see how it might be considered "necessary". When the alternative is (yet another) nation under the banner of religious wack-jobs that want to kill anyone that doesn't believe in their interpretation of Islamic Law, I suppose it's the lesser of two evils.

Since Somalia isn't a problem, this meddling is all about power, extreme dislike of the Clan form of government (the reason England continually invaded Scotland) with it's decentralization, and because they can meddle. It's nothing to do with oil. It's about expanding the control of the empire.
Further, since the US gets no more than 7-8% of its' oil from the mid-east, there's no reason to meddle at near the level that's in progress.
It needs to stop NOW.
