It is a well-known fact that USA's,in this particular picture Uncle Sam's, economy greatly depends on the black gold. Unfortunately for Uncle Sam, his country started exploiting this resource long ago, which means that there is not enough precious oil to satisfy the needs of the United States. As the basic rules of economy say,if you have insufficient amounts of something,you have to import it. That is the root of Uncle Sam's big problem. When you import something from someone,you have to bargain with that specific person. That can be really frustrating, and exhausting. Sometimes, it is easier to eliminate your stubborn trader, and replace him with someone more friendly, and less stubborn, of course. As the old saying goes :"With great power comes great responsibility." It is logical to presume that your friend, as he gets more and more powerful, will get more greedy,up to the point when he becomes the same as his predecessor.There's only one thing to be done then.
I can imagine Uncle Sam,the world's number one bully,shaking his head in disbelief while saying: "Yes, someone got the rebels armed,and yes,this events are very fortunate for us,but, you wouldn't suggest that we had something to do with it?" No of course not, dictators from Middle East reigned for more than two decades,but suddenly people found them unworthy. Uncle Sam had nothing to do with it. His hands are tied...Literally.
Sadly, we live in a time labelled as the golden era of oil consumption. Oil reserves are running low. In twenty years,more or less, they will be depleted. Event happening today are nothing more than logical course of events in a given situation. We need oil ergo we will take it, using all means necessary.Hopefully we will all survive this oil-mania. After that,who knows, maybe we'll start using solar energy or some other pollution-free source of energy. But I doubt it, since there is no way to charge it properly.
