It is Europe and Asia that benefit from the oil America secures in the Middle East. If the U.S weren't in the Middle East besides countries like the Scandinavian ones and Russia, your gas prices would sky-rocket even higher than the ridiculous price they already are. Having said that the cronyism that leads the war, and the reason why the U.S wants war is because there is money to be made in the industrial-military complex industry. You have government contractors who make billions from making weapons for the U.S military. If war ended, that leeching "industry" also ends and that is not a thing these people want.
