Large U.S. oils companies never used coercion against me, and does not ask me to work for them if I don't want to.
If you live in the U.S., these wars may be even beneficial for you. However if so, people in the affected countries (Iraq, Libya, Syria etc) have all moral rights to call you their enemy along with U.S. govt and corporations!
Please, develop in why you think the oil Companies provoked that, or give links to your facts.
I thought you were talking about the energy crisis in which case Milton Friedman has compelling arguments.

I am not from U.S., but if I was, Iraq Libya Syria would not be my enemies.
They are the enemies of the government, and I would not consider the government to be me, be it as democratic as it claim.

If I was American, the government have the right to force me to fight and die, not its enemy, nor any private company have this power.
Thus, I would prefer a private company in power than a government. And again, there is no instance of such thing that happened in a free market.
