@bernhard I'm not entirely getting what you are suggesting, but on a general note, the US and UK want low and stable oil prices. From their perspective, any incident that threatens the oil supply is bad.
There is nothing to be gained from unrest in an oil producing country – unless you are a competing (net) oil exporter yourself.
I was suggesting that my grasp of the situation was far too simplistic the article you posted was interesting and trying to convey my understanding. Whilst I agree, stable oil prices is a good thing, I would prefer them to be a tad higher but purely because I work in the Industry.
