Hell, yes!!

Now look what you've gone and done Greg, firing up everyone's imagination with the bottom line.....$$$$$.

And it's not just the oil over there but the illegal money coming in from the heroin trade. Plenty to protect.

America IS corporate interests.
Perhaps it might 'trickle down".
Perhaps they are doing it for the security and safety of the country.
Keeping up our dependence on oil and drugs.

But you and I know these people will defend their corporate interests to the death, and they make money on both sides both coming and going.
Forget that they overlook the ethnic cleansings of Armenians in Azerbaijan, as long as that oil keeps coming.
They're probably getting a piece of the action selling the rebels guns as well.

Oh well, it's been like this for years.
Nothing WE can do about it...
