Maybe we should find our own fuel.


If “we” is Western Civilization, “we” did. We negotiated a contract with the King of Saudi Arabia. We found oil and put in all the infrastructure for extraction and paid the agreed price in full and on time. Then the Saudi’s used the Soviets as leverage to break the contract, and the West was unwilling to risk nuclear war to enforce the contract.

Now, through technology, “we” are on the path to not needing our stolen oil. We are not there yet.

The oil belonged to Saudi Arabia. We bought it, then they stole it from us.

Well then, perhaps we have learned a lesson about doing business with people in the Middle East?

Yes? No?
