Not pictured: the billions of dollars you're making arming the uprisings/dictators, the extensive cost of invading (your military is primarily a mercenary force without even getting into the cost of weaponry), the fact that oil prices are as much the fault of local groups as it is the fault of OPEC, the fact that invading just pisses the other suppliers off while giving you a rather nasty black eye (Iraq had more civilians killed than enemy combatants) etc. etc.
