Ok.
Is that it?
End of story?
So America is going to suck Iraq dry, and leave it to rot.
Then go on to the next oil-rich country, suck it dry, and leave it to rot.
Then do the same to all the rest of the poor saps in the world, and pretty soon the world is full of states that America has sucked dry.
It has no one else to suck dry.
Having no one else to exploit, America eventually withers and dies.
Isn't that somewhat counter-productive?

Frankly, pursuing oil at all this late in the game is stupid, BUT there is still money to be made. A lot of money. Even if Hubbard's Peak was reached 20 years ago, there could still be 200-300 billion left to make. Some people, obviously, are willing to sell their soul for money.
