Arab countries sit out the Libyan conflict, and make billions WTF?
Is it just me or what? I am very tired of Arab and Muslim countries in every regard. I just do not care for helping them or killing them anymore. They do not help each other while we go broke. It just seems silly to continue to give a shit about them at all. We fight their battles and they make more money. Fighting for them should lower oil prices if anything. As an American I am sick of helping them and then being sucker punched with higher fuel prices. http://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Arab-countries-on-the-sidelines-in-Libya-campaign-1274041.php

2. The problem isn't the countries, it's the leaders of those countries. Deep in oil, deep in the
pockets of the oil companies. Millions upon millions suffer in poverty there because of a small number of greedy people. Our issue is with the multi-national oil companies that exploit both us and them. "We" don't choose to fight over there. It's all chosen for us.
