You telling me you don't want to pay 1 dollar for a gallon of gas? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!
I will gladly pay higher gas prices, if it means my kinsmin(Americans) wouldn't have to fight and die in that shit hole anymore. Canadians too, we just brought 2 more home in boxes this week....
Americans have been dying for this country for a long long time. And I am not talking about dying for freedom.
Yeah, that's true, but what does it have to do with what I said?
I will say it again, we have no business or obligations with the middle east. Not our problem. Iraq, not our problem, Afghanistan, not our problem, Lebanon, not our problem, ETC ETC ETC.
How about oil ?
The US needs cheap oil to sustain its economy. Controlling oil means controlling their economy, which means they need to control where it is produced and transported. There's no doubt oil corporations and the military contractors are the largest and most profitable corporations in the US. They are the ones holding the most decisive political power in the US.

We can probably get cheaper oil by not supporting the enemies of the oil producing countries. You follow? Take that 3 billion we give to Israel a year, and spend it on oil. Plus the Arab world would stop hating the west so much.
I want Israel to do well, and want them to stay strong, just not at the expense of my country, and my allies.

I follow but i see no relation. Try to see it this way: the US doesn't control oil prices, the market does. Of course the market can be manipulated, that's when political and military actions come in hand.
Nevertheless, it doesn't mind if what you call as "enemies of the oil producing countries" are backed up by the US or not, in fact, some oil producing countries are US enemies, and that's where the real problem lies. If those countries cut their production, let's say, by some political decision, prices will get higher.

It is a religious war for them, for us it is a vital point of strategic interest.
Once we have democratzied the entire region and they become prosperous and thriving Muslim oriented communities we will need a strategic place to stage and wage preventitive measures against us.
If those countries weren't so damned impoverished we would have a very hard fucking time with them.

We will never "democratize" that region. You can't spread democracy at the barrel of a gun. It can only be done if people are willing to work towards it, and it's clear they don't want our help.
