Mostof those countries are STILL dirt poor. The non-Moslems struck

It's not the American governments fault if the House of Saud or whoever the leaders are, controls the finances of a country. That is between the local population and their government. The United States government and Corporations have to do business with whoever has the legitimate authority to do so. If Ali Baba Mohammed is a goat herder by trade and doesn't own his own oil wells, why would Exxon give him a penny for a barrel of oil? If Ali is poor and needs welfare he needs to take that up with the owners of the oil wells and his government, not mine. Never the less the wealth is there.
