No, we aren't. Libya isn't even in the top fifteen oil exporters to the US.
And even then, we aren't getting this oil on the cheap. We are paying out the ass for it. We get most of our oil from Canada and Mexico, and you don't see them bitching about how the US is controlling them.
The truth is the western world had a huge influence in the Middle East - mostly the UK - and when the UK walked away from it all they were left on their own. They invested everything into oil, and that's all they have.
When the oil runs out they are screwed.
