Fuel basically. Seems legit.

TL;DR western nations intervene in war half way across the world for profit shocker!
In all seriousness, yes it is frightfully terrible, but what other reason would any nation have outside the middle east have to intervene other than to secure their own interests. It's probably worth noting that just because someone once said something in an email, doesn't mean it is the basis for an entire government's defence (read attack) strategy, though of course it could be, but ultimately the whole thing will end up a massive shit storm that everyone involved got into because they thought they might get something out of it, and then inevitably will regret later, like that time I went to the office Christmas party even though I'd been fired, because I knew Joan in accounting was definitely up for it, and even if the boss called security she would definitely leave with me.
