I know it can seem that everyone is celebrating in a manner akin to an all-our-problems-are-solved kind of reaction... but, I really don't think most people are so naive as to think that that sort of nonsense (thinking that the U.S. gives a bajillion shits about Middle Eastern oil is a different story, though).

Given that oil is a limited (and unfortunately important) resource and the existing investements by US oil corporations I'd say they do care about middle eastern oil.
At the moment for example the USA owes some money to the Libyan government for all the oil they purchased previously. Rather than pay the amount owing they decided to go for a slightly different payment plan (funding & arming a few local dissidents to try to destabalize the local government and then to directly help overthrow the government as the "heroes"). You may have heard about it
