Oil production is a result of national self-interest. Nations produce oil because they want MONEY. If we take away the military, the economic self-interest is still there. The oil production will continue. When it comes to energy security, I am a firm believer in the power of capitalism.

Your premise is severely flawed. You believe we fought in Iraq for oil. Yet we took none and we got nearly zero oil contracts, as well.

When it comes to energy security, I believe in drilling in the United States.
