In my city, gas is already $3.29/gal. We attacked Iraq for oil and we still payed out the ass for gasoline. While oil is a clear motive in the situation, I think that the US trying to dominate the modern Islamic world is also good motivation. As always, it boils down to either money, religion, or sex. Our government wants all the money, they want you to pray to their God, and in the end, we all get f*cked.

If you think blowing up a country will get you cheaper oil then you are mistaken. OPEC sets the price for oil. It doesn't make any difference where you get it from it's still going to cost you the same.
And if you think what you pay is bad I suggest you move to Europe where you'd pay double or even triple what you are now.
