Oil does not have anything to do with middle east crisis. These crisis were started long long long before the oil was found. They are just using oil as bargaining chips nowadays. Their crisis was based on religious, that is all.

I agree with you but I was hinting about an interesting point. The premise is that if we had really reduced our dependency on oil to the point that we weren't one of the main buyers of Middle East oil, the region would probably be less violatile as they wouldn't be so filty rich (the countries with their corrupt gov'ts). They probably would have reformed a while ago as they couldn't "buy" their way out of trouble.
I totally agree with you the Middle East was screwed a very long time ago...
