Where Do We Get Our Oil?

Here's a snapshot of where we get our oil from between 2005-2010:

World Politics got its data most updated info from U.S. Energy Information Administration's most recent data on U.S. oil imports including 2012:

Of note:

Syria for 2012- NONE. In 2011 we only got 3,403

Egypt: for 2012:  11,456

Libya: 2012:  22,281

Canada: 2012:  1,081,365

Mexico: for 2012:  377,350

OPEC: for 2012:  1,557,591


Non-OPEC for 2012:  2,320,659

I post this because I find our continual interference with Muslim countries to not have reliable motives. Islam will never accept a Western worldview because of its very nature. Why should we send Americans to get mixed up with a Muslim civil war in Egypt, Syria, and Libya? Money? Oil? Not democracy. That attempt has failed repeatedly from Egypt, to Iraq, and even Turkey.
