You seen Syriana? This is a great movie that depicts the tangled international web of the oil business. Unfortunately, a lot of the US\'s involvement leads to our support of dictators and criminals as opposed to leaders that actually want to help their countries. Check it out!

"Corruption charges...corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulation. That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize. We have laws against it precisely so we can get away with it. Corruption is our protection. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the street. Corruption...is why we win."
