Therein lies the problem. Most of the world's remaining oil supplies
lie
in unstable regions. We can try to continue to dominate these regions
militarily for the next forty to sixty years that oil remains viable,

Or we can see to it that governments in the region put their own
economic
health, and the well-being of their people ahead of some misguided
radical
Islamic fundamentalist agenda where the sole purpose is converting the
World
to Islam.

To quote Michael Douglass's character in Wall Street:
"Greed is Good". A government that chooses to sell its oil to America
will
have much-needed financial wealth. If that government is "of the people
and
for the people" (rather than a tyrant or royal family hording all of the
wealth), oil sales to America are a good thing for all parties involved.

There you go...when it doesn't make REAL sense, use Hollywood!!

If I quoted Adam Smith, you'd have to go to google just to figure out who I
was taking about. I figured you'd have heard of the movie "Wall Street".
