I suggest you look at a map of the Middle East and ask yourself: does it matter that a sworn enemy of the US , that calls for the destruction of the US, control the largest reserves of oil and gas in the world. Does it matter to the US that the same enemy controls passage of shipping thru the Suez Canal and Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean .
