Quote from Roy
I should correct myself a bit here. Iran is indirectly about oil, just not oil for the States (we only get around 2% of our oil from the Middle East).
According to this site, the United States gets much more than 2% of its oil from the Middle East.
Interestingly enough, Iran isn't in the top 15 suppliers to the US. The US gets a lot more oil from Latin America and Africa than I thought.
Win by luck, lose by skill.
