In time our huge oil/shale reserves may become the dominant fossil fuel source. Imperialism? Funny we are talking about Iraq and the region of the first 'super power'. Cyrus of the Persians had a great slant to conquest. He would take over a kingdom and treat everyone better than their previous king. As long as we are going to consider archaic ideology, lets go back to then. Cyrus was beloved and populations of other kingdoms welcomed his conquest as it meant a better life.

Time to take the old head out of the sand and look around. I have news for you, the world you can't see is coming to your doorstep and all your ignorance is not going to stop that. I spent some time in some of the poorest places on the planet. Maybe you can look the other way, and BS your way through life in ignorance of others who need help under your veil of self righteousness.</blockquote>
