"American dominance is not simply military. The U.S. economy is as large as the next three—Japan, Germany and Britain—put together. With 5 percent of the world’s population, this one country accounts for 43 percent of the world’s economic production, 40 percent of its high-technology production and 50 percent of its research and development. If you look at the indicators of future growth, all are favorable for America. It is more dynamic economically, more youthful demographically and more flexible culturally than any other part of the world. It is conceivable that America’s lead, especially over an aging and sclerotic Europe, will actually increase over the next two decades."

If people would really see where we get our oil from you would see that the biggest supplier to the US is Canada. Second on the list is Mexico.
To think we would put all our eggs in one basket is insane. When we do run out of oil - the markets will prevail and our cars will run on water or something else. What will the hippies yell about then?
As far as people being killed by the borrible US. 60,000 Iraqis died a year because on UN sanctions.
Where did the idea come from that America created War, hatred, racism, corporate greed and the like. It's been around people. It always will.
You have to come to grips that humans like this stuff.
