Brother, they aren't an inevitability... they've been going on for quite some time. Iraq and Afghanistan are not accidents. Nor are they the retaliation of our beloved drunk cowboy G.W. They are strategic locations for the U.S. to secure to ensure that whatever oil is left in the mid-east belongs to the U.S. Period. There is
no other reason we are there, in any capacity. It's purely oil.
China is already demanding the 'American' way of life. Their oil consumption is skyrocketing. They want what we got. It's a larger version of what happens here locally. If something starts in California, it spreads.... everywhere. The rapidly increasing repeal of ganja prohibition is a perfect example among billions of examples.
But the U.S. Government is not completely retarded. They understand there is a finite supply of oil in this world, and they understand it very well. The last century of technological advances have put us over the break point that killed off our predecessors. (i.e. Rome) The war for the world's last drop of oil is long well under way.
I can promise you this much. The war for the last drop will most likely be won by the U.S. because militarily, no one can touch us. Don't mistake that for some sort of pride or patriotism. It's simply reality.
