Apparently not.
Consider the Middle East (Iraq, Iran, etc.) I don't think for a second that the majority of people in the world give a crap about those people trying so desperately to remove themselves from the gene pool. For the "West" (or all the others not in the ME), it's all about the energy found in those regions the world needs right now to survive and feed itself. They/We, are perfectly willing to pay good money for those energy products, and the people can wipe their butts with it, or whatever they want to do. However, screw with that supply, and that threatens the people of the world, so get ready to be pounded into dust. It's all pretty simple.
Once the world has transitioned farther from the basic energy supplies the ME has, the people will be left to eliminate themselves from the earth, one battle rooted in ancient insults after another.
If the people of Middle East had any sense, they would do everything in their power to make sure the oil stays underground.
