When did I mention anything about oil? I have only posted to this thread in philosophical terms. Oil is brought up only when the discussion turns to 'blame the terrible US' for the worlds' troubles.
Do you think the terrorists who killed ~3k civilians in NY did it for oil? Did they want to protect thier oil so we can't get it? No! They could care less about oil. Oil to them is $. A way to finance thier evildoing.
Thier ultimate goal is the destruction of the US. Why? US support for Israel? Why? Arabs hate Jews. Why? Read your Bible. (I know this is asking a lot of some of you but you shouldn't blame God for mans troubles, blame man)
As for showing my age (you will probably be saying I've heard this before), I was right where you are several years ago (philosophically speaking). I wanted to blame the 'bad policies of the US' for everything. We're the bad guys. What are we thinking. Blah, Blah Blah.
The simple fact is if it were not for the US, even with all its faults, the world would have been far worse off. Throughout history, the only country to come to the aid of distressed peoples was the US. You should be proud of this, not detest it. I know... what about the slaves? Well answer this. What country in the world went to war with the US to abolish slavery? You know the answer.
I'm tired of this thread. You all know where I am coming from, and I know that some of you agree and some are still lost. Please think about your positions and thier outcomes. Consider other positions and thier outcomes. Pick the outcome which is best. THis will lead to the best position not the one which you think is cool or think is the way a rebellious person should think. Once you do this I will say welcome!
