If all the oil producing countries refused to sell oil to america...would we be justified in taking the oil from them?

No. And I think we need to start using alternate methods for heat and so forth. Then they will lower the price of oil.

America is always defending and supporting Israel, despite all the crimes it is committing against the Arab people in Palestine and Lebanon. I am an Arab, and I think all the Arab oil exporters should stop exporting oil to the USA just to punish it for having such a bloody ally. When the American people suddenly find that they must change their lifestyle because the price of oil had insanely risen, they will start to ask what exactly are the Arabs trying to express and what crimes have been committed against them without any international sympathy.

Since America uses 40% of the oil from the Middle East, I think they would be cutting their own throats if they refused to sell to us. However, I would love it if we could come up with alternative fuel, so we would not be at their mercy. I don't think we should just take the oil. I think that China may try to do that though.

If America quit selling food to the oil producing contries, would they be justified in taking food from us?

It sounds like many people have been attempting to justify the attack on Syria with "information". what's a fact? a million. The U.S. protection stress entered Syria and shot some people = fact 2. the reason to pass into Syria grew to become into to after "terrorists" = mere words got here out of the U.S. protection stress spokesman + quoted via the U.S. media. that's not a fact. think of roughly it. in accordance to the best judgment of people who safeguard such action, the U.S. can attack any united states of america they choose as long as they declare it particularly is after "terrorists". If memory serves real, the two Japan and Germany had lots greater perfect excuses on their invading rampage throughout WWII.

They might WANT to ride camels and live in huts!!!!! What makes you so bloody superior?
As for keeping the Middle East alive, it seems to me that the US is desperately trying to get it dead and all for oil so you can continue to guzzle cheap gas. There's little hope for peace and stability in the region when such a thing would threaten US vested interests.

Of course not. You can't go to war just to steal something. It would be terrible if they did that but (a) that's their right and (b) there is plenty of oil under the USA anyway.

Of course not. But that will never happen: Without our oil money, they'd still be riding around on camels and living in huts.

They will never do that because the US is keeping the Middle East alive. If we didn't buy their oil, they'd be in a serious pickle.

No, we have plenty of oil to last us until they starve. We'll wait it out and then go collect the oil in exchange for "aid".
