Yiwu, Re: How important is the ME oil to the US? Absolutely crucial, to judge by history and a close reading of the neocons' planning documents, such as "Rebuilding America's Defenses", a PNAC White Paper. Re: Why the US spent billions there while only 15% of ME oil was exported to N. America? Oil and money are both fungible. Instability in either is detrimental to American corporate interests. Re: Simply because of exporting "democracy" there? I seems don't get it<g> The British started exporting "democracy" to Iraq in its rhetoric of 1917. The U.S. is simply keeping up a long and proud tradition among Anglo-American imperialists of saying one thing and meaning something completely different. There's an old Richard Pryor joke that explains American statecraft perfectly..... A man walks into his bedroom and finds his wife in bed with another man. “What you’re seeing isn’t happening,” the husband is told. “Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?”
