Len, Len, Len.... The Palestinians sold their lands to the Jews.... It was the NON-PALESTINIAN ARABS from Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, who sought to push the Jews back into the sea, and ordered Palestinians caught in the middle to flee their homes to the refugee camps where they remained while a continuing state of war was maintained against Israel. Are you REALLLY this stupid? Or are you just flailing desperately around for any fallacious concept that you desperately try and represent as fact?? Btw, the average cost of production for Saudi Oil is still EXTREMELY CHEAP, despite years of inflation in the USD: "In October 1999, Oil Minister Naimi stated that Saudi oil policy was based on four facts: 1) the largest oil reserves and among the lowest production costs -- around $1.50 per barrel -- in the world" eia.doe.gov I know in some places it's as low as .50/barrel... So talk about racking up one HELL of a profit off of the technology that US companies developed and provided to them. So much for American "altruism", eh?? And it wouldn't break my heart to see all of the currently monarchial and authoritarian governments overthrown... But they would only be replaced by other people who would then exploit the rest of their people. The only way we could accomplish such a feat would be to conquer and occupy all of these countries and institute "Marshall Plans" there as we did with Japan and Germany. And something tells me that nations like China would have considerable "issues" with all of that oil being held in the hands of western powers. Hawk
