"military involvement was becoming increasingly necessary"

B.S. Show me the historic pattern. You've got one disputable data point only: Kuwait.

I'll show you a history of "Military Involvement":

Afghanistan: No oil.
Somalia: No oil.
Balkans: No oil.
Haiti: No oil.
Panama: No oil.
Grenada: No oil.
Viet Nam: No oil.
Korea: No oil.
Europe II: No oil.
Japan: No oil.
Europe I: No oil.
Spanish American War: No oil.
Mexican American War: Guess what: No oil back then. Texas did turn out to have oil, but who knew?

You remain uqualifiedly full of it.

Actually, the conflicts in Vietnam/Southeast Asia, including the period of French Colonialism and Japanese WWII Imperialism, are inextricably rooted in a struggle for control of the region's natural resources just as much as in differing political philosophies.

It would make for an interesting discussion if you weren't so obviously intellectually challenged.

I have better things to do than play around with someone hellbent on displaying intentional ignorance.
