If the Middle East wasn't swimming in money from their oil, then they wouldn't have the money for terrorism or for building nuclear weapons. Oil is a poison for those societies, causing the suppression of the value of human capital, and it is becoming a poison for ours as well, as we have to continue to increase our expenditures on oil as well as wars to secure our supplies and to fight the increasingly rich enemies who get their money from oil.
