After the first Iraq war all the construction contracts for Kuwait went to Japan, after the second war the Oil goes to BP and China.. the US citizens should wake up, we get used for all the police work and the rewards go somewhere else...
What is amazing is that these morons (mainly neo-conmen) that keep leading the US into these situations can't process that these countries are going to do what they believe is in their best interest, and many of these countries will work against the US even after we save their ass. Most of these countries do not want democracy, at least not our version. If the US spent all this effort and money on reducing our dependence on foreign energy we would be way ahead of the game.
