If we turn it into glass can we still get the oil? Yes I know that is a horrible thing to ask but if it's there we might as well use it. The collateral damage would be big and many innocent people would die but would it really bring peace? Sure if they were all dead it would be less terrorists but as long as humans are on this planet there will always be hate, greed, jealousy, etc etc thats just part of the human condition. In the movie "the marix" where agent smith is telling Neo that the human race is a virus ...the longer I live the more I believe that to be true. Someday the virus will eventually kill itself some way.
