You think they will be content with ruling the Middle East only? They could not stand living in filth (which is the inevitable consequence of islamo- fascist rule) when the rest of the world lives high off the hog. Our success compared to their abject failure is what drives their rage.

Frankly, if Islamist extremists triumphed in expelling the West and we were not dependent on all that oil, who would care ?

Am I possibly wrong about this ?

Your premises are false, Dennis. The extremists will never expel us, and we will not get off the oil. So we have to work on the premise that we will continue to defeat them and keep buying the oil. Any other approach is utopian.

China.

They need the oil too and their oil appetite is growing exponentially.
