We are all intitled to our opinions.  My opinion is that without the
West 'ripping' off the Middle East countries, they would not have even
one well dug with their backward technology.  We digg`em and they
nationalize them.  They've been payed good for their oil considering
it was built with western technology and western money and western 
materials.  I wish some oil company would rip me off by digging a well
in my back yard and strike oil and let me sell it back to them, and all
without one penny invested from me.
