I have a couple views on the subject also.
First: Yes oil is definately a heavy part of the war in Iraq. But don't we (I say we because I am American
) have one of the largest (not sure if it is the largest) oil reserves on earth? If so than why are we taking so much punishment (monetary and physical) to get oil from half way around the globe? Yes it is a national animal reserve and illegal to pump there (I think) but I think Mother Nature can take a blow for me .
Second: Call me selfish, stupid, or whatever you like, but self preservation is a major human trait. So if I was a ruler of a country and had a choice between losing jobs while helping another country, and boosting my own economy getting the poverty percentage down and making my "subjects" have a better quality of life, then I would choose that. Yes, there are many cases where "boosting my economy" turns into "making the rich richer" but there are more that are closer to "Putting more money in mine and many other's blue collar back pockets" which sounds good to me.
My two cents have officially been put in
