The U. S. does not buy oil from Iran, but much of the rest of the industrial world does. Iranian oil has an affect on the world's oil prices.

And that is what makes what happens in Iran important. If it were not for the mineral resources of Iran the country would be of interest only to National Geographic.

As it is the world cannot leave the stewardship of so valuable a commodity in the hands of goat-herding pagans.

That is correct on the surface. U.S. oil firms should not being purchasing any oil or natural gas from Iran, but as we recall with Saddam, piping Iraqi OPEC oil through to Syria, then Syria would relabel the oil and sell it for a higher profit on the 'open spot market'.

When Iran was under the Shah, in addition to crude oil, Iran was also the leader in global production and exportation of Pistachio nuts. Since the 7th century barbarians we allowed to gain control in early 1979, Iranian pistachio nut production & everything else declined, and now California's San Joaquin Valley is the producing the world's finest pistachio nut crop

"I wish I had some pistachio nuts" :)

True words spoken! Well those jihadist pagans have been financing their global jihad via Hamas, Islamic Jihad (hit Israel again today), Hizballah, terrorist in Iraq, Afghanistan & far beyond with the mega-profits off the sale of Iranian OPEC oil. No oil for the mullahs - no more mullahs in control of OPEC's 2nd largest exporter.

The globalists' view of the situation in a nutshell.

I believe you've nailed the true reason why Americans are dying in Iraq as well.

Perhaps after a New World Order friendly government is installed in Iran, the globalists' will pronounce oil to be a "world utility" and have some UN agency oversee all production and distribution.
