Of course, the September 11 attacks deserved a response, but the invasion of a country that had nothing to it wasn't part of that response. By now, everybody should know that the invasion was planed before September 11, which served as a flimsy pretext.
The transition from oil and coal to wind and sun should begin now,, as in right now, this minute. If ExxonMobil and the other energy companies want to stay in business, let them invest in the future. Otherwise, I don't give a flying fuck if Rex Tillerson spends his last days in a gutter to die cold, hungry, broke and alone.
We don't need to secure a foreign source of oil by force. We don't need to make alliances with oppressive reprobates like the House of Saud or the Sultan of Bahrain. A barrel of oil is not worth one more drop of a young American fighter's blood. We need to begin the transition to renewable energy sources and make fossil fuels obsolete.
Does that sound doable? It should. The Koch brothers think it is and they're spending millions to put a stop to it.
