10. They don't want no prosperous societies in the ME

They happily embrace the rulers that keep the boot down on their people - like Saudi Arabia. They sure don't want democracy, they embrace Pakistan, which is a military junta. The difference here is that those two countries, and the others that we love, allow our corporations to make big money through them - and they're generally happy to hop on board any regional conflict we might want to stir up. Read "The Grand Chessboard" - it's about power, the plan has just been adjusted to suit a new world.
