Oil money in 2030 will buy alot of weapons real fast, don't ignore the fact that you can mine uranium right next door in Iran.

Oh I'm sure there is strategy involved here that would give us more strength in the Middle East, but why would we not want that.
As has been posted either on this thread or one of the other Iraq v America threads the Middle East and it's occupants, not all of them but a lot of them have shown that they can't play nicely or share their toys.
While the rest of the world moves into a new century, there exists those that have power in some of those other countries clinging to centuries past.
What we don't need is a bunch of fucking fundamentalists whether they are Muslim Clerics in Iran, Palestinian bombers in Israel, or Bubbas in West Virginia fucking up progress.
