There is a supply-side health crises in most of the world, yet we don't declare war on hospitals or medical students.
I hope you see my moral point: Just because a resource is scarce (diamonds,gold,uranium,etc) doesn't compel us to make war over it. The problem is that there is a CARTEL that exists ABOVE the countries (and OPEC) themselves -- it is thier interests we are shedding blood for.
Now one might do the 'moral' math and say: the death of X many US troops and Y many amaments in exchange for $1.80/gal gas price is a 'deal' -- but what about that durn overhead huh (terrorism, loss of liberty and security and potential WWIII).
At least be honest with ourselves and admit this is "our" doing and has always been:
The New U.S. -British Oil Imperialism
Its IMMORAL and UNNECCESSARY. Get it? =)
