Blood for Oil

Blood for Oil
America goes to war over oil in order to provide the essential stimulus for our nation’s economy. On the contrary major beliefs include that America’s crazed thirst for oil is all a captivation with power. Although the necessity for oil is prominent in today’s society, does bloodshed necessarily compare to our dependency of oil? America is willing to go to war for oil because, we do not have enough to feed our need, oil is much of where all our economy is based upon, and it is much cheaper and easier for the U.S. to get the oil from other countries than from here; and who wants to destroy our home with all the oil wells and drilling? Is it really necessary for us to go to war for oil?
Oil is put on a pedestal worldwide everyone wants oil and it seems like whoever has oil has power. This liquid gold has caused peoples deaths, lying, cheating, and making the U.S. look desperate.   Through history, people of influence speak and persuade our countries citizens that “Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the arabs”. –Henry Kissinger U.S. Secretary of State under President Nixon & Ford. To what extent are our countries leaders willing to go for this horrid dependency?
Most would argue that most of the wars the U.S. has fought in were over oil WWII, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and The Iraqi war. What is the real reason we were involved in these wars if we have oil over here? Was it because we like to take things that do not belong to us, we need oil cheap, or the Politian answer we are helping more unfortunate countries’. The U.S. as a country is selfish and we always take and never really give
