Would this be a good time to point out that Canada, yes us little guys up here, has MORE oil in the ground than either Iraq or Saudi Arabia does ?
And we are your next door neighbour, and we are willing to sell oil to you are less than world price ?
Next time somebody starts complaining about having to go over there, to fight for oil, point out what I just wrote.
And add this point.............If the US Government decides to cancel the pipeline from Alberta to the southern States......we can all ways sell OUR oil to the rest of the world, at world market prices. As a matter of fact, we are currently discussing a pipeline from Alberta, to the west coast. That would be our choice to make, right?
As it stands right now , today.......Canada supplies about forty percent of the oil and natural gas that the US depends on to run it's economy. And we aren't a terrorist country, and it doesn't take super tankers to get our oil to your refineries, either. You need to approve that pipeline.

Or the US should invade Canada. We'd only have to control the first 100 miles beyond our northern border.
They turned out just well. Actually went there twice this past year and had some of the most fun in my life and will be going back a few more times this yr. .
I've been there myself--was there during the People's Revolution.
If the Philippines was doing "well," considering the boost they should have gotten from American colonialization, by all measures that country should be superior to South Korea. But it's not.

So you cause a problem and it is not your business?
Strong logic
The United States didn't cause a problem all by themselves. I believe England was the primary architect of the modern Middle East. And it's not as if the conflicts didn't exist prior to those decisions being made. If it's those decisions that you have an issue with, then invading and trying to enforce our values and sensibilities on the people of the Middle East is simply adding on to how they were wronged in the first half of the 20th Century. Logically, the best solution is to let them make the choices to resolve their differences and to find peaceful solutions to their conflicts. If they don't want peace, if they don't want democracy, then nothing we do is going to give them peace and democracy. They have to want it, and want it enough that it outweighs other considerations.

How can they resolve their differences when they were forced into fake borders?
