It's not really about oil, Larry K. It's about money. Some people see a lot of unharvested money under the ground in other people's countries, and they want it. That, combined with the fact that they have, in their pockets, all the right people to make that happen (at the expense of the taxpayers in countries like the US and the UK, and at the expense of the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in numerous countries), is the actual root of the problem.
