Oil fields are owned by the countries on top of the oil fields.
Hi, Maurice! The above statement that you have made is probably believed by everyone on this thread but me. Most of the oil fields under discussion were not found by the people who are now squatting on them, but by Oil companies who went in and discovered them.
They were then stolen from the oil companies by the local dictatorships. It happened in this hemisphere starting with Mexico in the '30s, and in the middle east by Iran in the '50s. Once the rest of the world found out that our Government was so spineless that it would let them get away with it, the other countries joined in and it happened all over the globe.
The people even in our own country have now bought this argument to the point that if we set out to protect our property world-wide, it is called "Selfish", and is condemned. The only wars that are approved now are "Unselfish" ones, such as the Balkans, or Somalia, where we have no real interest.
If you want to successfully attack someone on this thread, or in the world, today, call them "Greedy" and watch them back off. Propose that they are only taking the position they have for "their own selfish interest", and they will apologize to you.
IMO, it is "Moral" to go after these thugs. If we are not willing to defend this moral position worldwide, we will lose this struggle. |
