Subject: Re:I'm sure you can navigate your way around there.

Übergeek 바둑이: Connect the dots. If we were really concerned about getting control of oil (anyones oil), then why do we resist drilling for it in our own backyard? Are you suggesting we aren't accessing the oil we are already in control of so that we have an excuse to invade other countries?

Your obsession with oil is like obsession with aliens. You can make a case for U.S. greed for oil, and I can make a case for why aliens are interested in our planet. Mine isn't predicated on looking for any reason to find fault with the U.S., especially when it's obvious that the rest of the world couldn't care less about your concerns if you bothered to apply them equally across the board.. the aliens are equal opportunity invaders.
