The ME would be a sand lot of nomads and camels if we stopped buying their oil. I don't think it would increase tensions. They would just forget about us. What are they going to do? Force us to buy their oil? It would suck for the common people in the ME. But, how much do the common people benefit from ME oil now? Most of the oil wealth goes to wealthy elites who control it. Sure, some of it trickles down to the common folk.
