Our post - 9/11 world seems to be on a downhill collision course. Terrorism has made the world increasingly dangerous. Some say we are already in World War III. Security, safety, and peace are the top priorities on everyone's agenda. There is an almost desperate yearning for peace and safety. Israel's struggle with Hamas and Hezbollah is now a centerpiece in the war on terror, which could lead to a nuclear confrontation between Israel and Iran. Add to all this the fact that the world's thirst for Middle Eastern oil shows no signs of diminishing.
The providential presence of crude oil in the Middle East and record prices for this resource have riveted world attention on the Middle East. The security and continued prosperity of the United States and Western Europe are vitally linked to the uninterrupted flow of Middle Eastern oil.

****************************************************************************************************************************************
The so-called Israel lobby has been widely denounced and demonized in the media, but its power pales in comparison to the decades-long corruption of American interests by Arab governments. Indeed, for more than seventy years, U.S. policy in the Middle East has been shaped not by the power of a nefarious "Israel lobby" but by a misguided emphasis on pleasing and placating the Arab states. This outlook has ensured that the United States pays disproportionate attention to their demands, assisting Arab countries - all of them dictatorial regimes with abysmal human rights records - that do not share our values, and often work to subvert our interests.
Historically, the Arab lobby consisted of the oil industry, Christian missionaries, and current or former U.S. diplomats. Arabists in the State Department, many of them openly anti-Semitic, tried to prevent America from recognizing Israel in 1948, and have since waged a long bureaucratic war to undermine the alliance between America and the only true democracy in the Middle East, blocking arms and aid to Israel, while seeking larger weapons sales for their Arab friends. Many of these Arabists subsequently found lucrative jobs promoting business with Arab countries, speaking on their behalf and criticizing U.S.-Israel policy.
Today the Arab states influence American policy through numerous hidden and informal channels, including former members of Congress,, subsidized think tanks, paid media spokesmen, academics who hold chairs endowed by Arab money, human rights organizations, assorted UN agencies, European diplomats, and "Christian" groups hostile to Israel. A number of former ambassadors, university professors, and think tank experts routinely opine on Middle Eastern affairs, but never reveal these conflicts of interest.
The most powerful member of the Arab lobby is Saudi Arabia, which has a nearly eighty-year relationship with the United States. From the earliest days, when American companies first discovered oil in the Arabian Peninsula, the Saudis have used a variety of tactics, including threats and bribes, to coerce U.S. policy makers to ignore their human rights abuses, support of terrorism, and opposition to American interests.
Today, Bard shows, the Arab lobby's goals include feeding America's oil addiction, obtaining more sophisticated weaponry, and weakening our alliance with a democratic Israel. It also seeks to influence public opinion through a well-funded publicity campaign, and by injecting distorted views of the Middle East into high school and college textbooks. Bard's detailed political history brings a much-needed balance to a debate fraught with ignorance and propaganda.

our stupidity for buying their oil instead of our own is part of the problem. What is fueling global terrorism is the quran, hadiths and suras. The oil money is funding it but not fueling it.

We've started opening up oil fields in Dakota, drilling, and they're so over run with people getting to work REAL jobs, they're having trouble housing them all. BUT we have an abundance of oil other places in this country also. We have refineries that can e reopened like it used to be. We wouldn't be dependent on ANY COUNTRY THEN!!! I live in KS as a kid and there were places for miles and miles you could drive and see the oil pumps pumping away. We always thought they resembled woodpeckers cause they were painted black with what looked like a red head. We had refineries too. Same in OK and TX.and the coast of CA. then comes the EPA !!! Throw the EPA out and get back to the business of us regaining our status of the RICHES AND STRONGEST NATION IN THE WORLD!!! We can drill, refine, use and store our own oil!! Why give money and do business with countries that HATE US AND WANT TO DESTROY US?
