Exactly how are we going to intervene in a failing state with significant oil reserves with Air or Naval power? Let's assume Nigeria finally fails as a state and various tribes are competing for control of the oil fields, so our only military response will be to bomb them? That will secure our interests?
We're seeing something else here, and it isn't honest intellectual discussion.
