The conflict over oil will produce future reactions from those who have nothing to lose with no hope for future. If you keep pushing them to a corner and decide for them, create their realities, form their future, and essentially deal with them on your own terms they will fight. They will learn to adapt and find weaknesses to attack. The west is not getting it or has no choice but to continue the colonial practices because of increasing need for scarce resources (oil).

Is it that West's survival depends on the dominating the middle east, far east,....?

I think so, but if this trend does not change and we do not the change direction of this doomed Titanic we are all going down. Every inhabitant of this plant MUST HAVE ONE VOTE....Period. And it can not be based on color, latest weaponry, perceived intelligence, god given right,......Etc.

I hope soon we can witness this paradim shift.

Meanwhile its kill or be killed.
