Decreasing our dependancy on foreign oil from monarchiesc and military dictators? Forcing said individuals to turn to their own people and treat them as their resource, yes, that's the point.

Saving the environment should be a priority, but untangling ourselves from these regimes (which brings us grief and criticism), hurting them economically, is essential if we truly want to see a more democratic world that doesn't need to be reformed at the barrel of a gun.
