why do you think the world cares so much about whats happening in that patch of dirt

[Fatality]

why does the world focus on the middle east? oil only? i mean seriously we can get that from other places and just as much...so what happens if the middle east destablizes into total war? why should we really give a crap? is it the food, the culture, the religion, the broads, the weed, the booze? what?
