"a major force in recent history got pushed over and trampled upon for oil "

This is ridiculous.

The US didn't take a drop of Iraqi, Kuwaiti or Libyan Oil.

The US could take all the Oil in the Middle East in a heartbeat if it wanted to.

This whole 'war for Oil' bit is mostly rubbish.

'War for continued access to energy' yes - but the us is not grabbing resources with military power, moreover, North Korea has nothing anyone wants.
