We'll probably reach global peak oil within the next ten years anyway, then the price of oil will go up forever... and our entire lifestyle - internet included - will probably change. Just an FYI.

So in your opinion these people have done no wrong and should be allowed to decide our destiny and terrorize the world every time they get a fanatical hair up their ass.Most of the weapons these countries use is chinese but that is just a coincidence.

Whoa Duane, you're reading into things a little much. Viz. Iraq, we claim to "not like their gov't", so we bomb the fuck out of it and occupy the country. Well over 100,000 people have died because of this... all "insurgents"? No. Does the USA have the right to invade a soverign country and kill lots of people with crazy-ass weapons ... just because we don't like the government? (Which is to say, actually, that the Iraqi gov't turned against us, since we were their ally back in the '80s).

What does "[Iran] should be allowed to decide our destiny and terrorize the world every time they get a fanatical hair up their ass" actually mean? Have they ever done that? Has America ever terrorized the world, or even any specific country, whenever we get a fanatical hair up our ass? Uhm, oh yes, we have. Oops. I guess we're getting a little hypocritical here Duane. No wonder the rest of the world doesn't really trust the USA. Just $0.02 here.
