Oil is fungible, so everybody is paying them. If we find an alternative energy source that works, they'll be up the proverbial creek. I think we are 'entitled' to the oil if we pay 'them' for it and 'they' offer it voluntarily. And that is the case, is it not? No, I did not say we should force our way of life on them. They should modify their own way of life if they want to cope with reality and come in to the 21st century. They are not doing that. Some of them are trying to modify OUR way of life, by flying planes into buildings, forcing us to implement parts of Sharia law into our own civil affairs, and so forth.
