Just curious what you all think of this?

The "mullahs" wanna kill us because we kill them for their oil

WW2 changed everything. Post-WW2 United States saw it was losing oil and that it needed more of it to maintain its newfound place at the tip top of the world. The FDR Admin allied with the House of Saud, exchanging their oil for our military. We fought USSR for decades over oil. Every thing the US military has done since WW2 is based in oil

If we went all D-day on the Mideast and tried to create a new Europe, we could, but we would have to give up sooooooooooo much oil, and the US would no longer be a superpower. Reason and diplomacy is the only method. Energy policy that keeps us from killing poor brown people is the one and only thing that will bring peace to the Mideast

Look at Saudia Arabia as a microcosm of this. The House of Saud has not had any power for half a century other than what the US guarantees them. The entire nation is one of the most oppressive and backasswards regimes on the planet because of this theocratic dictatorship that their US buddy buddies guarantee. Osama bin Laden is a Saudi revolting from US/Saud dictatorship

That all the problems of the Middle East ride on the back of the United States' thirst for oil (as well as the thirst of the rest of the industrialized world that uses US military to get that oil via proxy) is not a secret. Them hating us isn't some kind of elusive mystery. Camel jockeys are normal humans just like you and me. The difference is that they have a priceless resource, while we have all the guns

^This the whole way. If these guys want to install islamic theocracies, it's because they see it as better than the US installing "democracies" and robbing their land of its natural wealth.
