And why should they? Those things have relevance to oil only insofar as oil finances the current generation of jihadists. Wave a magic wand and move the oil to Australia or somewhere, and the biggest change would be that the rulers would go back to riding camels & living in tents, instead of driving Rolls-Royces & Ferraris, and building their own private islands.
