Especially if we were to turn our attention to the things that we can actually do something successfull about, e.g. the fact that we consume and throw away something like 25% of all of the fossil fuel energy on Earth. What effect do you think it might have had on the development of geo-politics if we had never been so dependent upon Oil Kings in the first place? Or were seriously and meaningfully reducing our dependence now?
What attitude do you think we would have toward Afghanistan if it weren't in that region? Why would our attitude be different?
