Sorry, but anyone that doesn't realize that out of all of the substances in the world...OIL is the one most worth fighting for.... is living in a silly neo-hippy dreamland.
Without oil, we would be without food, (no way to harvest it, and no way to distribute it), we would be without medical care, (everything is made of plastic), homes (paint, roofing, etc...), clothing (oil by-products), .....in fact, pretty much everything around you is some form of oil by-product/plastic. The things that are not oil products, are moved by a transport system that is utterly reliant on it.
Good luck living without it!
As far as all the rest, regarding the long term benefits of having some stable democracies in the middle east instead of the medieval dictatorships that foster ignorance and hatred...... I don't have time for all the same old silly arguments from the far left this evening
