I did follow the article previously. But the US does not rely upon Persian Oil and never has.

The US petrolium products come from South and central America.

There are other issues as well - such as our military alliance and weapon sales to Israel. And our desire to play empire and spread our military bases over as much territory as possible.

Now those issues I do believe are true add to that the control of Pesian Oil but never reliance or dependence. Which was addressed slighly by Robert Higgs. My COMPREHENSION is very good it was the word dependence that was the sticking point Robert Higgs offered no evidence.
Robert Higgs talks of jobs in Iran, what jobs does the US have people working out there? Weapons sales to Israel will also occur without the need to involve Iran. Empire building was not addressed.
