re: Don't you see the hypocrisy in saying there is something wrong when another country (actually, another ~25 countries) have an oligopoly on some necessary item, but its perfectly OK when the US has a monopoly on some other necessary item?

Of course not! It's in our national interest, on several levels, to be the producer of our own energy, the lifeblood of our economy. Especially when it's feeding our $'s to our "enemies" instead of our own economy and citizens.

re: It's either OK in both cases, or wrong in both cases, or you're a moral hypocrite.

Self interest in hypocrisy?

re: Where I live has nothing to do with it. I view all men as created equal, not just all Americans.

You've gone native, haven't you? A common thread had developed in your posts; you don't care that the US is economically dependent on other (mostly enemy) countries and you care more about the working class in the UAE then in the US. No longer a member of the clan, eh?
