Agreed.

It's ironic considering the fact that every non-islamic country that would object is also struggling with serious terrorism problems.

If/when this situation explodes, it could get very ugly for everyone. I'd hate to see what the economy would do if the oil stopped flowing for any length of time.

Any military action against us on the part of those who object might interfere with the flow of oil, so they might do nothing.

It would be an all out race for every drop of oil on this planet by Europe, China, Russia and the US. This is what Europe is really trying to decide are they with the US or in it on their own or perhaps trying to make new Allies.
