The only governments that I heard are interested in this oil pipeline deal are China and Japan. Why has the United States not shown interest in taping the Eastern Siberian oil fields so the we can be less dependent on the middle eastern oil?

The principal factor behind the interest of middle eastern oil over siberian is money. The US hasn't functioned for the rights and freedoms of individuals since the 70's. Today it's purpose is to increase the profitability of american businesses overseas. Basically, we have the middleeastern rulers addicted to spending money. They get into debt-we help them out-they allow us to operate in the reigon unpreturbed, and of course record profits. This is why Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt stay out of affairs involving US. (plus we have access to bases and intel). This helps the US establish puppet governments that the fundamentalists are so upset over. However, when fundamentalists take over a country-it's usually not for the better. Countries that are not profitable for american businessmen associated with the White House don't get any recognition.
For example:
Rwanda, Uganda, Sudan, Chad
(Some say Somalia was a mistake-nothing was accomplished)
Chechnya, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia
India develops nuclear weapons-US doesn't object

Well as far as I'm concerned, the US has no chance of getting near Russian oil, while Vladimir Putin is still in power. The Cold War may be over, but that doesn't mean that old habits don't die hard...

I would have to assume ExxonMobile has an interest in every pipeline project in the world.
