The last thing that we want in the Islamic world is democracy. We need brutal Kings in Iraq , Kuwait , Saudi Arabia , with an American boynet in their backs doing our bidding.

We should take control of the oil.

The Germans and French and anyone else that bitches about American mideast policy can pay $50 a barrel while the British and the rest of our friends pay $15.

I agree with your sentiments. Unfortunately that isn't what we'll do. We'll spend billions installing some marginally friendly muslim diectator that promises to have elections now and then. He won't be able to control his own "hardline" factions and we'll have the same issues then that we have now.
