If we are involved in the Middle East because of oil, explain why only 22% of our imported oil from the Middle East. Then explain why the U.S. was involved in the Middle East since 1948- before we started importing oil.

U.S. oil imports by country as of November 2005:

Iraq 5%
Saudi Arabia 12%
Kuwait 3%
Algeria 3%

Canada 18%
Mexico 15%
Venezuela 10%
Nigeria 12%
Angola 6%

So, if we invade countries because of their oil, when do we invade Canada and Mexico?
