The issue of religious liberty is absolutely critical. America was founded on three different types of liberty: political liberty, economic liberty, and religious and civil liberty. It's remarkable that, one-by-one, these strands of liberty are coming under fierce attack from the Left.

The Middle East has oil. Notice that America doesn't get involved in Haiti or Rwanda because they don't have any oil.
