Since you seem incapable of even comprehending the simple concept of "straw man", I tend to want to ignore any further dialog. I hate battle of wits with the unarmed and the ignorant... But what the heck. One last try.
Your response is the socialist one-note mantra. Take your time and answer just one question: Has there ever been, since oil was discovered outside the United States, any country whatsoever where what "we pay" has gone to the 'people'? Ever? Any? What kind of a puerile stuck-record inanity is that?
Give it a rest. And have a nice day.
I'll help you follow the posts that led us to this point, since the very nature of your question exposes you missed it. In post #154 raptor29 asked, "Do we pay these countries for their oil?" I clarified in post #173 "No, we pay their brutal despots."
Perhaps it is news to you, but OBL and Co. recruit by saying that the U.S. government props up repressive despots like the Saudi govt. to manipulate the price of oil to our advantage (and thereby the disadvantage of the people who live on top of those resources). He wasn't making this argument before we put troops in Saudi Arabia. He wasn't attacking Americans then. It's very convenient to forget that internvention begets intervention. We'll see in 10 years what the latest round will reap. I'll guarantee you, and no one you know, foresaw 3,000 dead Americans and a smoking hole in NY city as the repercussion for sending U.S. soldiers, sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution, halfway around the world to defend a King.
