These people don't have any right whatsoever to the oil without a valid, enforceable contract.


Yeah, these countries basically stole the oil after making a deal with the oil companies. The Companies had no recourse. Calling it "imminent domain" does not make it right.

I started out by saying that I realized that we were so far gone in this country on "Property Rights" that no one on this thread would probably agree with me. But, as far as I am concerned, legalizing theft by calling it "Nationalization" does not make it right.
