What other importance... hrmm... as was said. Military importance other than the oil. That is one of the big world hot spots for events. Having another local for rapid deployment of forces wouldn't hurt. Specially if oh... I dunno... let's say another conflict between the Israelis and Arab states started up again. Or perhaps we decide to do something like Somalia again? Or maybe India and Pakistan start walloping each other again?

Oil is no doubt an important reason. But to focus on it to the exclusion of others is just absurd. There are multiple reasons not just one.
