The US lead invasion IMO is headed because of what US can gain rather than helping out people and policing around. There are way too many nations that needs policing if that is the case.

I do not beleive we have taken any barrels of oil from Iraq. In fact we are BUYING oil from neighboring countries and shipping it into Iraq for our military needs.
As for the US in Asia, Other than Korea, no one has stood up and said "We have WMDs and we plan to use them on Americans" so they only get small forces in a training or assistance mode, not a full on military presence.
We also tried to help in Somalia where hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians were being killed. Unfortunately, our liberal president at that time tied the hands of the military and prevented anything other than pointless loss of life on both sides.
