The oil of these nations is extremely valuable for the US not to consume them but to acquire exploration rights with ridiculous terms, generating a huge amount of revenue, propping the US economy up keeping up the American dream.

The US has Saudi Arabia and the gulf countries on it's side, Libya in shambles, Venezuela and Iran isolated. That gives the US a lot of power on the energy market.

So there it is, control over oil = money + power.

What else people start wars for?

Does if you realize the horizon for politicians in US is at most 4 years long; after that, it's most likely going to be someone else's problem.
