^^^I wish I had the answers to everything all the time. Sometimes motives don't become clear until hindsight. Back in 1953 the democratically elected Iranian leader, Mohammed Mossadeq, nationalized Iran's oil fields, and denied BP a monopoly. The capitalist powers-that-be were like, "Oh, no you don't!" So they (CIA and willing participants) staged the anti-Mossadeq street chaos, making it look like genuine civil protest... and after several weeks of chaos in the streets, Mossadeq was arrested and overthrown.

Although a short answer to Terry's question would be: the dominating powers in the world (esp USA) have a vested interested in maintaining domination through control of the world's natural resources. Therefore, these powers need excuses to have permanent military bases and outposts in these strategic corners of the world. As such, they love to see chaos and instability in such regions as it serves as a perfect excuse for us to intervene. Anyway, we'll see how the currently developing history plays out.
