No - because it reverts to national interest again.

What about the citizens of the US who benefited from the cheap oil? I can't think of a single citizen in the US who doesn't benefit from cheap oil (it takes oil for people to drive to work, it takes oil to ship oranges from Florida to Wisconsin). We had something of a crises here in Chicago last winter when the price of heating oil and natural gas went up. All those people who had to put their utility bills on the installment plan benefited from cheap oil. And how exactly do oil companies pay for things? Hmmm... In good economic times they raise prices. In bad economic times, they lay off employees. How do you go about getting oil companies to pay for something? I almost think your point was that the people of the US went to war all for the benefit of a few stockholders. If it was, think again... Chris
