Most of the oil reserves under American soil are being protected in case 
there is another BIG conflict (war).  Fuel supplies have been a major 
factor in the cause of, and the 'winner' of most  'recent'  conflicts. 
If we pay the price now, and pump the other suckers dry, we'll have 
plenty to fuel our trucks, planes, tanks and to supply our petrochemical 
manufacturers  (propellants and explosives) if another such conflict 
should occur. If there's no war, we can gouge the crap out of  everyone 
else later.
Of course, I hope we can somehow find another safe energy source, so the 
oil issue will go away.
I also hope that people can finally figure out that we are all  more 
alike than different, but that will take a few more millenia the way 
things are progressing.
