How much does gasoline have to get to justify going to war?

It really makes me weep when I read how so many Americans are so fixated by the price of gasoline, as if it's the most important thing in the world.

You just cannot get it into your head that when something becomes more scarce, the price of it will rise.

Oil is NOT a never ending product that we can suck out the ground for eternity.

It's supplies will one day run out, and that day is not so far in the future.

After that there will be NO OIL, NONE WHATSOEVER !

Which means ...

No more gasoline, no more diesel, no more plastics, no more lubricants, and a whole host of other products will simply disappear !

In 30 years time you may be paying $50 a gallon, or even more.

OR

You will be sensible and buy an electric car, or something very similar !

The price of oil will NOT get cheaper, even if you go to war and KILL people to get your hands on it !

It's not really the price of a gallon it's the scarcity and greedy people wanting to make money. There is no justification for war. We cannot put our selfish needs of consuming gasoline to justify killing innocent people.

According to the person who answered first, it's better to not be able to feed your family than to kill an animal. This may however pose a solution to the gas problem and bring prices down. Gasoline is a resource made from petroleum, made from long-decayed animal and plant matter. If we breed extra plants and animals just to turn them into fuel (via rapid decomposition and compression), we may actually have way to lower gas prices.

However, it's all just a moneymaking scheme at the hands of the oil companies.

We would not need to rely on foreign oil from the Middle East or especially Venezuela where most of our oil comes from if this administration would allow us to drill of federal land. The U.S. has more oil than anywhere in the world in and around our country and yet we just sit on it. Besides 9/11/01 was technically an act of war, no different than Pearl Harbor in 1941; that's how we got into the War on Terror.

It costs less than fifty cents in some parts of the World. The rest goes to oil companies and governments. Only a nut like Bush would justify causing a war to enrich his friends.

This better be a wind-up. Your country has spilled enough innocent blood in the name of oil and greed. You already have control of Iraq's oils supplies and shared control over Libya's. Which countries' sovereignty would you like to violate now?

And then when the war hits your own soil you cry & act like the victims

Gas prices are determined by international market trading, just like stocks & bonds.

Going to war won't fix that.
