If only they had oil...
Sad but true...
shareYou're an idiot.
Did the Barbary States have any natural resource of value at the time? Intervention is not based on natural resources.
How many barrels of oil has the west gained from the conflict in the middle east? Do you have a number? Do you have any evidence? Didn't think so. Just a mild hypothesis that you believe without any self-criticism.
Wait, I just want to say that again: you're an idiot.
Also, I'm confused, you imply that intervention would be a good thing for rwanda (if only they had oil), so what follows is: you believe intervention in the middle east was also a good thing. Do you even examine your own beliefs? Have you ever thought critically? Ever fact checked yourself? Try it sometime. Think for yourself.

The OP is right.
Or any other natural or precious resource America wants.
We would have been there in seconds if they had something we wanted.
Humans are not the only species on earth.
We just act like it.
