If we don't need the oil, we can shut them off!

Oil companies are not in the business of conservation, nor are the powerbrokers who run things.

If we don't need their goddamm oil, let the rot in what ever miserable stew they want to lie in. Really, let them be in what ever makes them happy!

They are fueled by our intervention and when we are gone form them they can then find something else to get pissed at.

BUT were are sprung into action by the emotion that feeds our thirst for revenge!

ANd our cars are our freedoms.

And out larger homes (bunkers) are our refuge!

So I guess what you are saying all the people at WTC and all the soldiers in Iraq are dead because of the oil companies desire to get big bucks. And our politicians desire to have a good share of it.
So then the Muslims are 100% right and we are the problem. All of us as we are all OK with it.

No, Im not blaming the Oil companies. We can control how much oil we consume. We can reduce our need/desire.

And no Im not saying anyone died because of "oil".

But, the many powers that be both in this country, and all around the world have prospered and the OPEC states have allowed the money to flow out instead of building an infrastructure.

Now we must ask ourselves if they were allowed to evolve without poverty and repression would them be more moderate and modern like Turkey? Or would a wealthy opec/Islam state be agressive and still want to see Israel gone? Wealthy with power and military might! A big problem!

Seems anyway you look at it there are problems.

The big picture is really phuched. We have, and will continue to choose which of the evils we can tolerate.

Im saying that PERHAPS 9/11 is our call to action.
