There better be some benefits to the USA or it will just be another money toss. Oil, land, a base, cruises down the Tigris/Euphrates...something. And we don't need some mass migration.

Benefits

a) We can eliminate one dictator who is known to have a keen interest in developing nukes;

b) We can insure a more stable supply of oil.

I just find these two reasons, taken alone, to be totally adequate to make it worth our while.
