Comment - Gary you don't get it either. True, it's not about oil - it's about CHEAP oil. Our lifestyle requires consuming way more oil than we are willing to pay for - and it pisses the terrorists off so badly that they feel justified in their actions.

It is not about the Oil. If you read what Gary Becker said: http://home.uchicago.edu/~gbecker/Businessweek/BW/2003/03_17_2003.pdf "Since oil is sold in a fluid world market, any nation, including the US, can get pretty much all the oil it wants by paying world prices." So, the U.S. doesn't need a war in Afghanistan, Iraq or elsewhere to get all the oil it needs. It is about our way of life (western civilization). The arab terrorists want to install iran-style (or worse) islamic theocracies in all arab countries, eliminate the State of Israel, and finally, wage a Holy War of Supremacy against all Judeo-Christian "non-believers". I think 9/11 proved all this. You don’t get it. It is not about the Oil.
