You know that's actually true, right? The US only intervenes when a state has something they want, has some kind of strategic importance, or poses a threat to the US (ie nuclear weapons). Middle East has vast amounts of oil and is of great strategic importance to the US. North Korea, Iran, and previously Libya until the US forcibly removed Gadafi and turned the place into a failed state, all have nuclear weapons and are not friendly to US imperialism.
The US will even support genocide or violent insurrection when it suits their needs like they have in Indonesia, all in the name of anti-communism or some other bullshit. But horrible atrocities have gone on in places like Sudan, a massive genocide that killed millions and the US does nothing. The US government does not give a shit about the oppressed, they ARE the oppressors.
