re: Is it acceptable that all personal computers worldwide run on processors supplied by either AMD or Intel, both US companies, and 95% use Windows, owned by a US company? Or is a monopoly on technology somehow different from an oligopoly on oil?

Of course it is... we don't have the oil monopoly. Have you lost all understanding of US self interest living among the Muslims?

We can't suddenly pull the plug and stop people's economies. They'll just keep running their current technologies, which can't be done with oil. Everyone HAS to have a constant supply.
