Agree with the advice given so far.

Actually its not just the US... the UK has similar requirements for SOME nationals transitting in the UK. It was introduced because large numbers of travellers were gaining entry to the UK by getting visas for 3rd countries, but stopping in the UK during transit. They would claim asylum, cause an investigation lasting weeks, during which time they would disappear into the black economy.
Its not the case that all nationals that would require a visa to enter the UK also need one just to transit there.
Maybe the motivation for the measure in the US is different (?terrorism?).
