Yes. The day oil becomes worthless will be the day the middle east becomes the back water [censored] hole it was 100 years ago. When the oil money dries up, fighting their "holy war" will be the last thing they have to worry about. Its hard to buy food and crops without money, and even harder to finance a holy war. They will fight and murder each other, and the world might care for 5-10 years, but then it will turn its back. We only care now because we need their oil, and they have been able to use the money that we pay them to buy "big scary" weapons. When they are fighting with sticks and stones, no one will care. It will be kind of like Africa, but without the diamonds.
