GREAT WORK NOW LETS MOVE ON TO YEMEN< Ethiopia< JORDAN< SYRIA< AND THOSE SAUDI fake royals!!!

The Congo, Sierra Leon, Sudan, Morocco, Zimbabwe, and a few others need to be set free too, but the military industrial complex and the diamond gangsters of the world wouldn't like that at all.

@egetunks but if the USA took a friendlier approach to Arab nations by reprimanding Israel and withdrawing aid, there wouldn't be any guarantee of lowering prices. I do recognize the threat in the Middle East is Israel but the rest of the country doesn't. Why? God only knows but there may be regime change that may be friendlier to the Arabs in the future.

If you want oil, then you have to be at Saudi or Iran

In Saudi Arabia, the king is USA puppet. You already get oil.

Iran: it's the fault of the USA, you better be friends with them if you want oil for lower prices. USA thinks they've got nuclear weapons, while Iran allowed the IAE to inspect their nucleair power plants, and nothing has been found. Israel has nucleair weapons, they don't let someone in their nuclear power plants. The real threat here is Israel.

a lie for oil war.

@egetunks ah yes gas pipeline, but it still affects the price of gas as speculators inflate it. I actually have changed my posture on Egypt over the past hours upon learning new information about how much $ money Mubarak has stolen from Egypt. It is upsetting and I understand the situation better due to it. But the price of oil needs to come down it is too high which may cause another worldwide recession, stalling progress of all including you guys.

More of the capitalists men will get out of the middle-east.

Of course everyone needs oil, but USA comes here with his puppets to get the oil for lower prices.

This is inhumane, usa uses the arabs as their slaves, they work for low prices, some have no work.

And no oil well has been attacked, it was a gas pipeline leading to Jordan.
