The problem is one of poverty, when people are poor -as most people in the world are- and they see wealth around them it is tempting to try to take it, look at what happened in Texas in the early oil boom, people had their land stolen from them with no idea of what was going on. If you struggle to feed your children and you cannot get work even though you try every day and you get offered a job working for a big man who can pay you and make sure your children get an education, all you need to do is hold a gun and be able to use it, would you not take the job?
Anyway I don't know quite what you mean, Saudi Arabia is very safe, they get billions and trillions for their oil and employ huge numbers of people in the police and army.
Indeed. Since the regions of the world where oil is available have historically been unstable long before the discovery or usefulness of petroleum was discovered, one can only conclude that God likes to see people kill each other. [[User:Stile4aly|Stile4aly]] 14:27, 5 May 2007 (EDT)
