Why war?

The U.S. military is the world’s largest buyer of oil, dropping about $20 billion a year. The US military consumes more gallons of gasoline a day than all but 35 nations on earth.  As of 2009, the Department of Defense consumed 360,000 barrels of oil a day.

A Princeton-produced report from two years ago suggested that from 1976-2007, the U.S. military spent $7.3 trillion guarding oil resources in the Middle East with fleets of destroyers and aircraft carriers, not to note the inevitable chains of supply vessels. The General Accounting Office (GAO) estimated that from 1980-1990, America expended $366 billion safeguarding oil supplies in the Middle East.

War is not for democracy. Not for peace. Not for self-defense. Not for humanitarian purposes. Oil resources is money and money can be used to make money on money.
