Why? Did anything change? Did the US hunger for oil and ‘exporting democracy’ mitigate in any sense?

Of course it is all a consequence of these actions but we pretend we don’t see it.

The Catch-22: can't chaperon the oil without the navy, can't cruise the navy without the oil.

Could Athabasca and Green River provide a way for the US to stop riding the tiger above? (I would find this hypothesis more probable only after having seen more export capacity in the Gulf.)
