Oil. The world needs it, and most of it comes from the Persian Gulf. Iraq, a country then ruled by a military regime and headed by an unstable dictator, threatened to have a choke hold on most of the world's oil supply. It was a situation which demanded immediate attention by the primary consumers of this oil, because an interruption of it would have utterly destroyed their economies. The US has emergency oil reserves for only a few months. Without oil, Stone Age conditions would prevail.
