You both missed the point of the post, i.e., that it is theft to invite an oil company into your country to spend billions finding oil, extracting it, and refining it, and then to steal their assets via "nationalization." If you knew anything about what this means, you would know that such nationally owned resources are rarely managed well and little of the revenue ever is spent on infrastructure or any other benefits to the people of the nation. For you, this is just another reason to badmouth America, capitalism, and, in the process, give support to a Communist dictator. Or, to put it another way, to be idiots.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-80787996837463812892008-02-14T12:33:00.000-08:002008-02-14T12:33:00.000-08:00This columnist is advocating blatantly imperialist...This columnist is advocating blatantly imperialist policies and represents the worst of kind of capitalists. He obviously does not believe in the concept of self sovereignty as the people of Venezuela have backed Chavez in the referendum and have a viable democracy which rejected Chavez's last round of "Commie" policies. This columnist is a imperialist stool pigeon.Comrade NightSnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128955120335396947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-69596519012331846802008-02-14T10:07:00.000-08:002008-02-14T10:07:00.000-08:00Thanks for confirming why so much of the world des...Thanks for confirming why so much of the world despises the United States. You are a perfect poster boy for the anti-America crowd.<BR/><BR/>You see, most people in the world don't own major oil company stock, so when it comes down to a choice between a country's oil revenues going to its own people or to foreign investors, it's pretty much a no brainer.<BR/><BR/>I'm surprised you don't see that considering the "no brainer" that you are.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976430027401639839noreply@blogger.com
