I feel the same way about Mountains and minerals. We should have a say over what's in those Alps.

To be consistent, this would mean that the planet's oil resources, natural gas, metal ores etc., should be declared to be humanity's common property, with the revenues being divided equally among all humans, instead of belonging to the countries in whose territory they happen to be located (especially since oil was "discovered" only AFTER most national borders were drawn). This would also render obsolete the oil wars currently being waged in the Middle East. (And one might add, it would also render obsolete the "biggest aircraft carrier" named Israel -- it is interesting to note that the early zionist movement(s) discussed other locations on the planet _prior_ to the discovery of oil.)
