It's not an accusation really. When I say US intervention I'm referring to the elite few who call the shots on whether or not to jeopardize the lives of millions for their own lust for money.

European and US elites combined have ruined the lives of millions, justifying it back home by whatever means they can.

As the conflict out there carries on, more people are becoming wise to these lies. I doubt you could find many individuals who believe that western intervention in the middle east is not based around the lucrative oil supply.

I agree with most of what you say, but am one of those individuals who thinks that US involvement in the Middle East has more to do with who buys US war materiels, and less to do with oil. As evidence I would offer that.

1. US companies buy a lot of oil from Venezuela although no one calls Venezuela or Hugo Chavez a US ally.

2. Iraq, despite its US occupation Vichy government, has reportedly signed its largest oil contracts with Russia.
