Did you know the US is not really dependent on Mideast oil?

Even though we get our oil from other countries (Venezuela is a country we are having problems with to say the least) All of these oil producing countries belong to OPEC, and they set the prices. I think you are over simplifying this by stating that we just want to go to war. I will say that oil is evil and we need to get off of it though. Our national security depends on it.
