And yet our support of evil and corrupt religious fanatic monarchies and dictatorships who have oil* seems at odds with our pretty kneejerk support of Israel (which may be many things, but it's not a dictatorship and it's much less corrupt), which support gets the Saudis' panties in a twist every time. Realpolitik only shows it's face half the time. The rest of the time it's what? U.S. evangelists trying to bring about the end of days? Beats me.

What? The invasion of Iraq? It might have been for a host of reasons but the main one was definitely oil.
Clearly yes. If it wasn't for the oil reserves what would prompt the amount of money & blood spent in the desrt? WMD's that people *knew* didn't exist or for 'humanitarian' reasons?

*Saudi Arabia and their ilk
There's as many different reasons for ruling the World as there are politicians in Washington. The only reason they need is that the CAN.
Yeah as if it were that simple.
