First you say "democracies" like Israel's are not worth increased oil prices, and then when it's pointed out how democratic they are, it's that no democracies are not worth expensive oil. My dog has more integrity in a debate than that.
I'm sure you'll be very persuasive when you grow up.
My motto is "Is it good for Americans?"(sounds kinda familiar to you, doesn't it? Just change a few words around.. =D) So i ask myself: "Is getting into a war to protect a little "democratic state" in a desert good for Americans? Is fighting off Israels enemies for the sake of "defending democracies" good for Americans? Who benefits the most by having Americans engaged in a Middle East conflict? From my standpoint its certainly not your average American.
