Who stated we are invading Iran? Sanctions do not artwork by means of different international places blocking off significant deterrents, and particularly the human beings are those who struggle through. yet in the adventure that they proceed to spit contained in the faces of the collective international and flow ahead with construction nuclear guns (in case you've self belief that is for non violent skill then you actually are an entire moron and recognize no longer some thing of the persian subculture, mendacity is taken into consideration as alright to placate others), some thing will favor to be carried out. i do not imagine that the Imam's rather care what's going to ensue to the international outside of their personal usa and could use it first threat they get.

the United States has gotten involved in Korea (nuclear and Korean war), Balkan states (racial cleansing), various African countries (starvation, warlords), south and central America(drug cartels, oppressive civil wars) and various war crime and human rights violations worldwide. oil changes the land scape but the middle east is the single largest seat of terrorism facing the western world at large. if not the U.S then who? the U.N? we as a rule commit 10x the troops and resources then most other countries involved (combined). i agree that we need to clean up our own yard but you still have to keep an eye on your neighborhood.

In my opinion, no. Look at Africa, we don't need anything from there so we don't police it. We were in Somalia, and we do have troops in Africa right now on the HOA, Horn of Africa deployments, but it's more or less to teach them how to help themselves, and to help deliver food, but it's not nearly enough to be effective. If Darfur was on top of a giant oil field we'd be there right now in force. We're still in Kosovo because there's a huge oil pipeline that runs to the Adriatic sea. And we have interest in it.

The oil market is a world stability item. Say you go into a gas station and theres no gas you will say ''i don't care how you get it just get it'' until we get an good alternative fuel source that's the way it will be.

I don't think so, but also note that if no oil there might not be any trouble because no one would have money to buy weapons.
