<If it weren't for oil, these people would be irrelevant>

If by "these people" you mean Muslims, these people include a large chunk of Asia -- the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, parts of China.

If by "these people" you mean Iraq and surrounding area, I could not agree more. There is one reason for us to be there -- oil. And it is a horror to me that we chose war over effective energy policy.
