oil is too expensive

it'll plummet in 10 years probably

due to different forms of energy and changes in the ME.

even using all their oil most middle eastern countries could never buy the US. Their oil is often of crude quality so they need to refine it and what not - things they are not always well capable of.

What about our shale oil, and all that stuff that's two miles below the Dakotas?

It's not like we haven't got our own black gold.

Besides, those Muslim economies lack diversity. Haiti used to be filthy rich when sugar was king - look at it today.

What are you talking about? Haiti was never a rich country?

It (along with the other caribbean colonies) was a source of great wealth back in the 17th-18th centuries. Of course, the vast majority of the people were poor slaves, but the common folk of Iran are hardly what we would call wealthy.

My point is that an economy that relies on one major product, be it sugar in Haiti, oil in the middle east, or SUVs in Detroit, is insecure.

Comparing the value of Saudi Arabia's oil, when it's at historic highs, versus the highly diversified American economy, is steaming horse****.

In other words, I agree with you on the stupidity of the piece.
