Of course it is... we don't have the oil monopoly. Have you lost all understanding of US self interest living among the Muslims?

Where I live has nothing to do with it. I view all men as created equal, not just all Americans. 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? It's either OK in both cases, or wrong in both cases, or you're a moral hypocrite.

I suspect JF understands you perfectly. I think the point he is making is do you accept that that's the way things are ie we have an oil dependency on the ME, or do you try to change things? IMO not trying to change this negative dependency is very wrong.
