The question has to do with whether or not you have a right to simply take something that isn't yours just because you need it for your "national security." Why should other nations give a damn about our national security? Answer: they shouldn't.

If someone else has oil and you need it, then the proper thing to do is barter for it. If they won't give it to you, then too bad. Find another energy source. But might doesn't make right. If it does, then we had no right to kick Iraq out of Kuwait.

but bu-bu-bu-t the eye-rack-ees were MOOSLEMS!!!! they ain't gots no god-given right to oil!

Generally speaking, that's the ONLY good reason for war. That and someone encroaching upon your sovereignty.

America is going to have to learn to run on hemp oil if it wishes to claim any ethics.

And sustainability.

But first, we have to kill Monsanto.

Independence is the vehicle.....just like oil. It still boils down to a war for money/wealth !

Someone else's oil isn't attacking America. No it's not about national security, it's about thuggery and theft, justified by other words!!
