America, as in who exactly? The old-school Realists only care about the oil.
Fundamentalist Christians care about the existence of Israel, and they dislike the spread of radical Islam. Neo-Cons want to spread democracy and freedom and they see radical Islam as an obstacle to that mission, and the Middle East as ready to tip one way or the other- radical Islam or democracy. Pro-Arab folks care about justice for Palestinians, including statehood. So no, America does not just care about oil. Just because that's all you care about, don't inflict your outdated vision on the rest of us.
