The Sons of Abraham have been trying to kill each other LOOOOOONG before America was even thought of.

There's oil in Nigeria and the Norway but you don't see us building schools and roads for them or "negotiating" their local spats.
Most of the worlds oil is in the middle east, thus they effect the price more than any other region.
We import actual little oil from the middle east. We get most of ours from Canada and domestic sources. But oil is a world wide commodity, and when the region that controls the majority of the worlds oil says they are going to do something, everyone pays attention.
Thus, we remain the police department of the region, because of its vital strategic natural resource.
