Yes, namely that what we pay for oil in the Middle East doesn't go to the 'people' of the Middle East. It goes to their dictators, who we call our 'friends'. They use that money to buy military hardware and maintain their power. Americans shouldn't expect thanks from their oppressed populace for this.
Might it be useful to compare your doom and gloom scenario to those oil producing countries where the U.S. has not interfered? Is the resentment and hatred any less?
Doom and gloom? It's just the reality. Do you think the average Saudi is satisfied with his government, the King we protect and provide aid to? Do you think our actions endear us to them, or their masters? The bastard leaders are ok, so long as they're 'our' bastard. That tends to backfire when the people finally overthrow their repressive governments in some form or fashion. Whether it's in Iran, or in Cuba.
Or are you claiming that the U.S. has interfered in every possible area from which we get resources, including the North Sea and the Soviet area? Do you feel any need whatsoever to make sense and to be consistent?
Strawman and treated as such.
Since you seem incapable of even comprehending the simple concept of "straw man", I tend to want to ignore any further dialog. I hate battle of wits with the unarmed and the ignorant... But what the heck. One last try.
Your response is the socialist one-note mantra. Take your time and answer just one question: Has there ever been, since oil was discovered outside the United States, any country whatsoever where what "we pay" has gone to the 'people'? Ever? Any? What kind of a puerile stuck-record inanity is that?
Give it a rest. And have a nice day.
