The very fact that our nation feels the need to waste money and men, in another conflict involving oil rich, islamic nations, in which both sides obviously see us as a "great satan", leaves me pretty confused. Why must we repeatedly make the same mistakes and errors that have plagued our recent history, even when we realize that the truth of the matter demands that we change our position? How many times will the citizens of the U.S.A. allow our resources to be wasted in conflicts of a foreign nature, due to oil, instead of committed to the research and development of petroleum alternatives? We must come to realize that no matter what we do, the barrels will run dry one day, and this reality is fast approaching as Chine and other countries, increase their use and the demand of petroleum to new heights. If we would have simply advanced to a comparable degree in non petroleum fuels, as with the rest of technology, we would have no need to waste the lives of our fellow country men, in a war with a group of muslims that are fighting another group of muslims over things we are not involved in, or have any right to interfere in.
