But - duh - nations act in their own self-interest

That is exactly right Carolyn. I wonder how long this discussion needs to continue. As an American I reserve the right to say here and now that America, including our oil companies, will do everything in it's power to protect it's interests all over the world and that includes going after oil. Those that oppose our tactics can complain, vote, move, or try kill us. None the less those are the facts, and I don't see anything wrong with that.

Nations do act in their own self interest and admitting that we want the oil isn't difficult at all. Not giving a damn whether others don't like it isn't difficult either.

We are in Afghanistan for two reasons. Kill the terrorists and protect our interests. One of which is defending freedom as we know it. We have tons of enemies all over the world and a few right here at home. That's OK. It has always been that way and it will always be that way. That is one of the benefits of war, it shows who your enemies are.

Continually reiterating the bad things that America has done, will do or is doing is a place that some wish to continually dwell. Fine by me, let them grumble! Who cares what they think?

Proud to be a politically incorrect American.

Hope you are well.
