Nigeria has been in a revolution for decades, we still receive oil from them, and the same goes for a dozen other banana republics, dictators, and even countries run by Sharia law. Why, because the bottom line is not freedom, democracy, and a government styled after Americans, its about the MONEY!

So long as we pay, the spicket will not close. Infact, the powers that be like these wars and rumors of wars because they can force the price of oil up, straight up.
