To maintain totalitarian Muslim societies with its miserable people in any sort of semi balance rulers of this countries

Yes, now you are getting to the heart of the issue! What does the U.S. have to do to maintain this totalitarianism in the Middle East?

President Eisenhower said, "There's a campaign of hatred against us in the Middle East, not by governments, but by the people." The national security council discussed that question and said, "Yes, and the reason is, there's a perception in that region that the United States supports status quo governments, which prevent democracy and development and that we do it because of our interests in Middle East oil. Furthermore, it's difficult to counter that perception because it's correct. It ought to be correct. We ought to be supporting brutal and corrupt governments which prevent democracy and development because we want to control Middle East oil, and it's true that leads to a campaign of hatred against us."
