"If you want to rule the world you need to control the oil. All the oil. Anywhere."
Michel Collon, Monopoly
The region that comprises Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia is at the epicenter of the pending U.S. war on Iraq. Despite all the rhetoric about weapons of mass destruction, one glaring fact stands out: These four countries have more proven oil reserves under their soil than the rest of the world combined.

One more thing about Julia's comment. We may be a lazy nation but what about those of us who are not lazy and need oil. I can't walk 10 miles to work every day. OF COURSE we need oil!!!

Superpowers become superpowers by having dealings/strongholds throughout the world. Doing so ties a nation into the Global economy and allows that country to act as a middleman between countries thus profitting off both.
Also many precious natural resources are in Anti American countries.

If we dealt with only countries that like America then we would be dealing with no one!
America is disliked throughout the world, always has been and always will be. The only thing that any country likes about America is our money and our aid.

i'm noticeably helpful that the US would not furnish any ordinary foreign places help to China. they might help out in an emergency, at the same time with earthquakes, with the aid of offering definitely factors that may not be handy domestically. as far as help to the middle East is going, the overpowering majority, billions in certainty, is going to prop up Israel. without US help Israel might probable, interior the long-term, give way and then the US may well be obliged to absorb huge numbers of Israeli refugees. perhaps if the US hadn't been so stupid to two times vote for Bush and his massive tax cuts for the wealthy there might nevertheless be sufficient funds to circulate around. usa has each appropriate to stop giving worldwide places foreign places help - however the outcomes are huge and the yank human beings should not be stunned to work out their status interior the eyes of something of the international plummet even greater beneficial - if it incredibly continues to be attainable.

If I knew that, I'd run for president myself. I wish I had an answer for that, but thanks for realizing how morally wrong, and self defeating it is to us as a nation to do so.
