I guess you don't think the balance of power plays an important role in politics. The US has nothing to do with the link between the House of Saad and the House of Wahhab. That is where the corruption in the Middle East is based. They believe they are the only chosen ones. Kill all Jews and Crusaders and impure Muslims. Since I can't think how a single American is benefitting from the staggering increase for the price of oil, I have to reject your observation that the US is profiteering from it's war effort at this point. It is imperative that Iraq be saved from the terrorists trying to purge all the Shi'a and Kurds. Maybe you prefer to let them sink. In order to be successful in Arab politics, you have to have a different policy for each country. Political stability in Saudi Arabia is the best we can hope for in a 100% totalitarian state. Outside of Saudi Arabia, we have to crush any fundamental influence being exported by Saudi sympathizers. If that means protecting the Shiites and Kurds in Iraq, that is exactly what we have to do. At the same time, I think the US is trying to wipe out as many terror networks in countries where we have military access. The new balance of power in Iraq will ultimately protect Muslims from the spread of religious intolerance throughout the region. It amazes me to see liberals spew your anti religious venom. I figured you would probably put fundamental christians and fundamental salafi attitudes in the same space. Doesn't really work for me. Christians may believe that Muslims will go to hell if they don't recognize Christ as their savior, but are legally, spiritually and otherwise forbidden from killing non-believers. In reverse, almost every aspect of the Muslim faith preaches about the purification of Islam. The most startling fundamentalism is being practiced by Salafis being raised in Saudi Arabia. The government may not be telling them to kill non believers, but the religious clerics are telling them it is OK.
