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.

The US has emergency oil reserves for only a few months. Without oil, Stone Age conditions would prevail.
