Anyone who thinks they're doing this to grab a desert, shouldn't be allowed to debate.

I'd love to see ISIS show up on Saudi Arabia's doorstep, but I know the US would jump in and I don't want to see any more American soldiers die for oil men and bankers.

It's OK if they double or treble or only sell oil to people they like. Making your standard of living and style a thing of the past.
And then what?
The idea the West can now pull out of this and the madmen will leave them alone. Is flawed from the start.
As for cutting off the funding. So we stop buying oil?
Oil is priced on a World Market, any shortage will hit everyone. Even countries that are self sustaining in oil. Exports and Imports will be effected. Oil does far more than power cars.

I'll tell you a small secret. When Iraq was controlled by Saddam there was no Al Qaeda, no ISIS and no other radical Islamist groups. Saddam was a Muslim, his right hand Tarek Aziz was a Christian and they have absolutely no problems with that. They even had a synagogue in Baghdad, the Iraqi women were learning in colleges and wore jeans. Now please tell me who is responsible for overthrowing of Saddam and turning Iraq into the ISIS nest?
The Americans are used to blame everybody else but themselves.

The West has to stop thinking these people are like us. The only stable countries in the region are those ruled by an Iron Fist, velvet gloves don't last long there. Even Israel responds to rockets with devastating force. And the rockets still keep coming.
How do you combat a kamikaze pilot, other than shooting him down?
