our oil

So, it was always the same. Israel wants to expand at the price of 
Arab land. The US unquestionably supports Israel. That irritates 
Arabs, that sit on "American" oil supply. The US, worried about 
losing its oil or paying to much for it, has no compunction about 
obtaining it by force from "underdeveloped and underpopulated" 
countries (read: it is ready to beat on the weak to get what it 
wants...). "Underdeveloped", facing such a formiddable - militarily 
invincible - adversary, resort to a desperate weapon: suicide 
bombers. Arrogantly avoiding to address the roots of the problem, the 
US increases its security measures: photographing and fingerprinting 
visitors from all but 27 countries, turning away international 
flights, requiring armed marshalls on foreign carriers, detaining 
people in secret with no rights, occupying other countries, etc. This 
cannot end well for anyone.
