It's simple isn't it really, we have to end or reduce our need for Middle Eastern oil if we want to get rid of the terrorism that creates fear and instability in our society, for it all it seems bears down to oil, that ancient death brings death to our modern world.
The horrors we perceive of Islamic countries laws, the way they treat their citizens, which countries are the worst offenders from a constitutional point of view, the very regimes that derive their wealth from oil exports, that is exports largely to the west, our need for oil is fuelling the injustice we see.
It's not the fault of the Middle East, it is our fault, our need for oil that turned a land mass consisting tribes and herders into what they are now, their system of hawala, an ancient system of goods transfer based upon nothing but the bond of trust allows activists to punish the west. Why punish one may ask, well life has changed for the people there, a change that perhaps came too quick and with, what oil enabled, was technology and with that the offence they receive via technology, the blasphemies they rail against. Sure, their oil was the commodity the West wanted to buy and as traders they sold as merchant do, be them camel merchants or oil merchants, a merchant is a merchant, they trade.
What do people do when they are unhappy or feel oppressed, some turn to religion and with that there becomes a fertile recruiting ground for the haters of the scapegoat, for the West and in particular America is that scapegoat for the evil that is oil, for the common evil to all of us is that thing we desire so much, the liquid black gold.
Obama right back at the beginning said he wanted to reduce the US need for imported oil and that by developing sustainable energy technologies, a very worthy statement and goal, for perhaps he also realised the problems America now faces are because of imported oil and what America pays the Middle Eastern oil producers actually funds the terrorist to attack America via the Hawala system in Saudi Arabia and the religious requirement for the people to pay the Zakat to charities, those charities whatever they may be whether the contributors are aware of or not.

Perhaps one thing is certain, if it were not for oil, we in the West would not be facing the terrorist threat from the Middle East, for we created the problem with oil.
Whether people like him or not, President Obama is the first to recognise the problem for what it is and is trying to steer the country in a new direction instead of administration upon administration of America being like a dog chasing it's tail refusing to acknowledge the dependence on imported oil is the problem America has.
