IMHO the disasters in the ME all began way back when we put the Shaw in and look what it's led up to.

No oil is worth soldiers dying or being maimed for life.

Why are we shipping fuel out of America?
Why are we not doing what Germany is and has been doing for years in renewable resources.

I'm appalled at what we've done and continue to do to other countries.
