As I said it is an option. Why would we care about the Middle East, if not for their oil? They produce nothing of value that we want to buy besides oil. Their only export besides oil is terrorism. Then take away their oil revenues and they won't have much money to buy our goods or to fund terrorism. That's exactly where we want the Middle East to be.

I would much rather dictate the terms of our involvement with the Middle East, Russia, and Venezuela, rather them dictating the terms to us. Bush went on bended knee recently to Saudi Arabia, BEGGING for them to pump more oil. That's disgraceful.

You still don't get it, do you? Or are you being willfully obtuse?
