Well, wheather or not "global dimination" can be achieved or not remains to be seen. If you can control the oil, then lots of other stuff jus' falls in your lap. Stategically speakin', this is the first step toward "global domination". Historically speaking, it's repeating behavior expecting different results and will come back to bite the US/Uk tag team on the butt.

Stealin' other folks stuff just brings about bad karma...
