I see this as the only reason for another world war.

A war over oil.

No kidding.

Especially since the real answer is that George Senior and his Carlyle Group buddies are good friends with the Saudis.

When you grow up you'll realize that we are due for another Religious Crusade.

That will be a fun World War.

When you consider it, nearly all of the old World Wars were fought between nations with set lines.

Where are the lines for the Christians and the lines for the Muslims?

I'm hauling freight once in awhile to Fort McMurray, Alberta, been there 2 weeks ago, temperature outside below -40 F,  but it's a crazzy economic boom , due to oil sands exploration, Big $$$$ in any jobs, You see signs "Hiring now" all over, huge need of workers in any kind of jobs from simple services,oil field to IT: they are paying over 20$/hour for a simple coffe shop workers, but the cost of living is very high, modest houses cost over 500 000$, monthy rent over 1500 $ for a simple apartment,but everybody makes $$$ there.
There are 175 billion barrels of proven oil reserves here, enough to satisfy the North American market for next 100 years. That’s second to Saudi Arabia’s 260 billion barrels, and it's located 600 miles north of Montana/US border. I wonder why Exxon doesn't invest more $$ there, not arguing with Chavez,

The oil in venezuela is not the good stuff.. it is high sulfur content and only a few refineries in the world can refine it.. they happen to be US ones.

exxon has more money in the bank than the entire gross national product of venezuela.

exxon won the court battle by an international court.  

We do need to do some anwar drilling and some offshore drilling tho.

You could assassinate a president, or invade my country and take over Fort McMurray, hell drop a few nukes here and there for good measure.

Or

Park the big ol SUV and use less fuel.  I dunno, that might be too tough, its easier to just go to war I suppose.

One thing for certain, fuel will be going up in North America, and there aint a gawd damn thing we can do about it.
