With over 100000 civilians murdered in Iraq, the low intensity war with Iran, and countless other examples of Oil threatening and destroying human life, it has now moved on to destroy nature. The Gulf of Mexico is the new killing field.
Not only is sea life death and destruction caused by this man-made Oil disaster, but who knows the effect of pumping large quantities of chemical dispersant into the sea as well.
This happened just 3 weeks after US president Obama gave his consent to expand off-shore drilling.
Let's just take a step back and look at this (approved)off-shore drilling. This catastrophe is proof that there is no preparation, technology or even ideas on how to prevent or contain disasters. This is tantamount to driving a car without brakes. It is great that the car can take you where you want, but it will eventually crash. This mentality is totally selfish, greedy and reaps mass profits for Oil companies.
Surely, the first thing that Obama(commander in chief) should of done was...shut down every single off-shore drilling venture in the US. Immediately! Every single one. Then, after the technology has been developed to safely extract oil, complete with emergency training and preparation, can they reopen.
