Now that the U.S. is a net exporter of both oil and natural gas, there is no longer a need to pretend that we care about peace in the region. As the locals scale up their killing of one another the U.S. sells more weapons with less risk to its own soldiers. If I were Saudi Arabia or Israel, I might think twice about the fairy tale that Chump cares about either of them. Like a smart parasite, we don't want either of them to get wiped out to the point that they can't afford to buy our weapons. That should not be confused with the notion that we want peace in the region. Peace is not good for business.

This will change some years down the road if fracking proves unsustainable, but like any advanced technology there may be further surprises. If the U.S. should again need oil, it will suddenly care again about the people of the region, or so it will claim.
