I may not have a brain, but I can at least count up to one. Which is the number of wars we're fighting. One war against one enemy, Islam, with combat taking place in many locations.
As for oil interests being any major factor, try a thought experiment. Subtract oil from the equation of the Middle East - say the deposits were under Argentina or Australia instead - and see if the situation changes much at all. Then try a similar experiment, removing Islam.
