Note: This was not particularly directed at anyone in here, I'm just... REALLY mad about this.
I agree the world just shrugs, if there's no oil to be had nobody really gives a shit about how people are treated within a country, but in the end they try and do something about it as society expects it. In most societies of the world the gap between those that have and those that don't have is actually growing (I don't have a link to back that up) but its a juicy debate.
