So many excuses about Libya, oh the US is after their oil, ah oh ah they want to control the oil, poor Qaddafi blah blah.

A simple question, do you think its better that oil producing nations are "managed" by a superpower like US or by their own dictators?

Do you think the world would be a better place if a well managed nation manages these countries and manages oil prices and output?

Do you think Nigeria, Saudia, Uzbekistan, Libya, Iran, Iraq etc are better off with their own clown leaders who siphon most of the cash into Swiss accounts, and get the money frozen when they die, or is it better if the US manages these countries, with US corporations making huge profits, paying US taxes to help manage these countries and keep the oil prices stable and affordable for all?

Would it benefit the citizens of these nations? Is the average Nigerian better off with the US running their country rather than a President who died in the company of a pair of hookers?

So you think if these "western" powers satisfy their needs, they dont care about the rest of us?

But if you look at consumption, the rest of us dont matter...so if theyre satisfied with Iraq and Libya, that means prices should be stable for the rest of us?

Isnt that logical?

Global Oil consumption

i still feel perhaps oil has now reached that status of mineral wealth that requires controlling and management, for the whole planet's sake. We can no longer have super rich guys like th Saudis taking all the profits, with a broke populace, and diverting these funds to support terrorism etc.

Neither does Qaddafi...
