Default Whatis the best way for America to control the mideast\'s oil resources

Do you accept this premise:

The war in Iraq, the posture toward Iran and the Israel support are all devices of American business interests to control resources for the benefit of the American economy.

As citizens, this gives us termendous opportunities to profit and live in luxury that exceed those of citizens of lesser nations.

Now my oppinion:

So I believe commiting atrocities in foreign lands (by paying taxes) is in my best interets.

However, I believe that my interests as a citizen are not being properly served by the war in Iraq and the support for Israel.

Instead of greater economic integration between Reading, Pa and Allentown and Philadelphia via increased transportation and better jobs via economic "stimulation" (better known as socialism I believe), my money is going to inefficient policy decsions.

Now for you:

The Mid East oil resources have been decribed as the greatest strategic prize in history, but they are so far away.

How can the US exert greater control over these resources with the power at our disposal?
