Oil will always be worth going to war for as long as the bulk of military machinary requires oil to function - it's a self sustaining situation. An electric car will not end the 'War for Oil' as long as fighter jets require av-gas to fly and nothing will spur the industrial military complex into action like the scent of its own extinction. Oil doesn't just make life in peace-time more comfortable - it also provides the means by which mankind may make war on a global scale. Oil may not be a neccessity of civilisation - but it is a requirement for the country with the largest military force in the world, if it wants to remain the only super-power in existence. This war is not about the freedom of any nation - not theirs and not yours. This war is a crude affair. |
