That there are despots and dictators and other less than desirable (in our eyes at least) leaders in the Middle East is irrelevant to this discussion. Mule wants to know if we feel we should go take the oil to maintain our supply. Use all the emoticons you want to express your displeasure at the fact that they live there. It is their native country, their land. The lottery ticket was set when the oil deposits were found.

EDIT: In no manner should my original post be construed as supporting the "take-it" policy. I was simply trying to point out the folly of it.
