Why when the U.S complains about crude oil prices to OPEC they say they have no control because it's a globally traded item, but then when gas prices get to low for them they cut production to increase the cost? And, would someones God tell them to blow themselves up with the intention of killing others?

OPEC tries to influence oil prices, that is its purpose. They want oil priced at a level which gives them the best income in the long run --- common sense, isn't it? Not so high that companies get busy investing in alternatives and prospecting in deep oceans and not so high that coal and other fuels look attractive again. No lower than necessary for this.
Suicide bombers have even less to do with oil than American bombers. They are a reflection of general discontent in materialist Western society, plus specific grievances of which #1 is the conflict between Palestinians and Zionists.

I am so glad that someone prayed along with me about gas prices. The prices finally dropped.
