We have to wonder about this importance of the oil for actual use in the US. It seems like so many sources of news report the US is only buying 7% of mideast oil to use here. So we are worried about alllll the other countries needs. Odds are we could make up that 7% fairly easily from some other source like South America or stateside.
But the rich oil people would whine about losing their billions so I guess us ignoring that oil thing wouldn't work.
