  I'm not saying that at all. I'm only recognizing that, historically, wars have been fought over resources. You mistakingly assumed I was talking about the US when I said wars would result from such a situation.

  I consider that an irresponsible perspective. A potential global war over resources, whether we are directly involved or not, is a concern we cannot simply ignore.

  If and when it happens, I agree. However, that war is no less likely to involve us directly if we do the bully thing ... in fact, I'd wager it's only more likely if that's the case.
