Well, it has lots of oil that we haven't tapped into yet (I suppose we'll be in that as soon as the Middle East runs dry). It has some strategic value because of its position relative to Russia. If we're paranoid, it acts kind of like a shackle on Canada, giving us a tiny bit of extra security if they join up with Russia and China against us (although I don't think that's likely). It's not especially difficult to defend because of the climate, landscape, and the fact that it's got ocean on three sides. It's also got HARP, which they're talking about decommissioning, but if you're into conspiracy theories then HARP might be the most powerful weapon the US has at its disposal. Plus, there are probably lots of other resources under the snow that we don't know about because we just haven't dug for them. Also polar bears, which are important for looking adorable in Coke commercials.
