   War for Oil in the Former Soviet Union?  
 
 
he U.S. maintains troops in the Middle East in order to preserve easy access to oil. Today, control of vast energy resources in the Caspian Sea region pits former republics of the Soviet Union against Russia. In the middle are American energy companies and government agencies whose activities on behalf of the nations in the region could provoke conflict. What, if any, is the role of the U.S. military in this area?
