I think people anywhere can, with determination, change things and do so very quickly. Which is good and bad. For now the USA allows oil rich states to profit from their own resources - this is only because the USD is the reserve and oil is priced in USD. In effect, the USA owns the oil as it's priced in our currency which we print by the trillions and can continue to print. Oil OTOH is finite, when it's gone its gone. If our economy crashes or doesn't crash, I think this will remain the case so long as we need oil simply because we have the most powerful military by miles.
Not that I want that. I wish we would move to alternative energy. So I have invested in those companies that provide energy without (or little) use of oil. That's may part. If everyone did their part, maybe we wouldn't be invading Libya?

Instead of angrily griping, why not respond to SG with a cogent, informed and well-supported post?

It seems to me Geoff that many people on this forum are not at all objective when the subject of the Palestinians, the Jews, or the Muslims comes up for discussion. The debate tends to break down immediately, even among the best and usually most principled debators. Sides are taken and then the personal attacks start flying and then nothing else is learned about the issue except that people on this forum are not quite ready to tackle this objectively. The ones that see the struggle from both sides are painted as anti-muslim and that is why I do not drink from this well.

As the uncertainty principle says, by making an observation of the system, you are disrupting it.
But seriously, is this thread actually still alive.

I think it's pretty obvious... Anyway, I don't really care. This thread should probably just die.

Don't act high and mighty shadow1,
your just as human as the rest of us.
And Quinnsong, this applies just as much to you as well. Just because you made such a blessedly obvious statement doesn't exclude you from the fact that you have just as much an opinion as anyone else.
