These "robber baron" oil companies have, to the best of my knowledge, provided Americans with the cheaptest prices for our gas guzzling vehicles, and home fuel, etc. in the entire Western Industrialized world. I am not one that subscribes to Massivecocks NWO and the sky is falling. The USA has its problems but the end is not near. Is the reason for the invasion of Iraq based partly, or maybe even majoritively, because of Oil? It may be, but there are many other important reasons for invading Iraq. If it were only about the oil I still would not have a problem with taking control of Iraq, because it puts the US in a position to take control of the rest of the oil fields in that area, if we feel the need, and as the world oil supplies dwindle, we may feel the need. I want America to remain the richest and most powerful nation on the Earth and I really do not care whose toes may be stepped on.
