But yes, religion needs to be removed from the equation. Let the religious zealots draw their own boundaries. However that changes the dynamics of oil. God put our oil under their sand so we have to stay involved. It's the Christian thing to do. God gave us dominion over that oil so we must do God's will despite the savages quibbling over where they will live. We are God's chosen people.
No shit money trumps religion, which is why religion needs to be treated like a poison because it prevents humans from focusing on all corruption. Take away religion as the heat shield to money, you give the power back to the people instead of allowing money to sell utopias to maintain their power.
