It is not so much a matter of providing security in the middle east as it is a matter of projecting power. Oil is a strategic resource to a country that cannot seem to do anything to curtail oil consumption and we are willing to go to war over oil. Like it or not, the US is still very much an oil-based economy. The invasion of Iraq provides a base to attempt to assert more control over the middle east -- not something I believe we as a sovereign nation should be doing, but it certainly seems to be the agenda of the White House.
