It's just in the middle east. I can't remember the exact quote from the movie Syriana, but it went something like this. These people were roaming around chopping each others heads off 100 years ago and in 100 years when the oil is gone they'll go back to doing that too. If it wasn't for oil in the Middle East, we wouldn't care about anything over there.
