And I say that it's not worth killing over. We've had 18 years since the
'73 oil shock to start to waean ourselves from oil. We haven't. Now,
we're killing for it. If there are principles involved, they are 'The US
needs that oil now, because we were stupid back then (sorta like our
policy toward dictators and other international thugs, doesn't it?), and
we're gonna kill you for it. Sorry, Buds.'
