Obviously, that would be even worse. Better to be subtle at least.
I have no problem with America acquiring oil to fuel itself. The whole world runs on oil. Everyone needs it. But, the way they have been going about achieving this is unfair because they have caused a lot of instability in the Middle East countries. Even the news gives us this very indication; as the gas prices soar because of what is happening in the Middle East, there are talks about finally using American oil reserves.
If you know Muslims you'd know that the first thing they would say is that its ironic that (1) America tried to push for democracy using force, (2) that they did it for the oil and having a stronger presence in the region, and (3) the governments that they propped are illegitimate and corrupt, just like other western propped governments from generations ago. America waged war and conducted an aerial invasion and occupation for lies that cover their true motives.
To say it was done for democracy is silly, and whether you agree with that or not, this is how the rest of the Arab/Muslim world perceives it.
