Developed world's economy is essentially based on cheap free flowing oil for the past 50 years and that is the only reason they must invade, kill, control, and otherwise disregard oil producer's own national and regional interests. Particularly as the oil supply has tightened in that last twenty years the tolerance for any distributions has diminished. That is why US had to raise an army to secure the oil fields. The West and increasingly China and India can not afford to allow "true market" forces dictate the oil price. The supply and demand factor is being circumvented by force of arms and outright thievery.

As I have said before the oil price based on market conditions should be around $200 to $300 a barrel not 40 to 50.

All the manipulations that are going on in the oil producing countries is to ensure steady and cheap supply of oil. Otherwise they will be treated like the African continent...........Let them fend for themselves.

This whole bullshit smoke and mirror job about FREEDOM and democracy is that!!

American people specially the heartland (red States) need to know that so when their taxes is killing people and those people lashout they should not say "why they hate us".
