You're a little late. They are in a civil war. Some experts have said they have been in a civil war for at least a year now.

We will have no conduit for trade in oil. You pick a side, the other will make trade for you more miserable.

Bush administration should of thought about this before going in.
So long as people need customers, they can't necessarily choose who they are.

In economic terms, both those sects hating us keeps Iran and Saudi Arabia in check. Sourcing thru Kuwait, even though it's the world's largest producer/ sq. mi., has its benefits.

I don't understand this one. I know Iran and Saudis don't care for one another as there is a Shia-Sunni divide in the Arab world. But keeping SH in there is what was a check between Iran and SA. Now we have a Shia (Iran) crescent in the area.
Whole thing was a dumb move. Whats worse, is a war with Iran is being planned to boot.
