1) Not trying to reach the standards set by the KYOTO-protocol because of presure by Oil-corporations.

Last time I checked, the majority of these oil companies are European. The US only has 2 oil companies, if that.
Eh, no: ExxonMobile, ChevronTexaco, ConocoPhilips are 3 of the 6 supermajors and are American. Beside these supermajors there are a huge number of american oil companies.


2) Iraq war.

The US took a UN Resolution against Iraq seriously. Blame the UN for that

You have to include that the US used falsified information to convince the UN.

3) Whining about Iraq having a nuke, invading them, and finding out they didn't have one... Whilst Israel isn't allowed to have one either but you don't here people complain about that because America backs them

Who is more likely to use a Nuke - a responsible Democracy, or a country that has a leader that pays citizens to become suicide bombers?

I wouldn't call a nation that uses its military against innocent civilians a responsible democracy.


6) Depending on oil so much, not willing to invest on long term in environemental-friendly energyresources, pumping more then 50% of the World's CO2 into the air whilst only having about 1-15th of the Worlds population.

We're trying to change. Blame oil companies for killing off the people that are trying to make renewable fuels die. I've seen in my own city, people build water-powered cars, ethanol plants, and various other facilities, only to be "dissappear" or die from "natural causes" at 30 years old.

I gaurantee you that most oil companies are investing really hard in renewables
