They had a product you were prepared to buy at the price they were prepared to sell.
They got rich, they don't owe you a favour or a bean, thats capitalism.

I reckon the American oil companies have got rich enough on Arabian oil, and paid enough tax derived from that income that you owe them.

Really the post-war period of plenty the West has seen is thanks to cheap oil.

Hmmmmmmm they had a product we developed for them and let them sell, and then we bought. Yeah sounds like a win win for everyone, if the ME govts, didn't hord the profits for themselves. But nehhh, they tell their people the US is robbing them and that is why they are living like shit.
