I started to read stories about the hostaqe situation in Saudi Arabia today, and read that the people who were holding the hostages, screamed "The crusaders are trying to steal our oil and resources." I started to think about that, and after awhile, it started to make sense. In all estimations, we have about 50 years left of oil. Economically, and militarily, the United States is the most powerful country in the world. Maybe it makes sense that they're trying to grab their take now, while it still exists. That's their solution for both appeasing the oil companies, by giving them another 50 years of business (today's politicians only care about today's money, not money for dead politicians), and insuring that when it all comes down, the United States has the oil, and the power. In the meantime, the fuel companies, such as Exxon/Mobil, BP, Gulf and others, develop alternative fuel sources that will be readily available by the time that comes. Then the least affluent nations, who can't afford the technology for alternative fuel sources, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Israel, Saudi Arabia (then), will buy the oil back from us, making the United States a fortune. Meanwhile, the TV industries make a fortune on the "War On Terror" propaganda given to them by the United States government? Much like the "War On Drugs" propaganda. The United States spends $50billion dollars a year on the "War On Drugs", and that started with lies and deceit 67 years ago. Who's to say they couldn't do it again?
Does History Repeat Itself?
