<<Who owns the oil companies? In the Middle East, the extraction and trading of oil is in the hands of the oil companies like Shell, Esso... etc.>> Let me address only this line. These are all public owned companies. they are "owned" by anyone who has the money & any who take that gamble deserve the rewards. thus is free enterprise. if the activists don't like rewards from oil companies going to a petroleum company they should buy it & run it into the ground. does't anyone one want to note the shares of oil companies held by Al Gore's family trust - or the profit his family gained from it???
