Did you know oil and wars have always been linked?

I read the answers of all the others that responded, and while I agree that all war in mans history has not been tied to oil I will say that since WWI oil has been the deciding factor. Not only that but I would state that if things continue at current rates, oil will be the new reason for wars, instead to being merely the factor that determines the winner of such wars. Obviously, this is simplifying things, as we all know that there are other factors involved in why nations go to war, but at this point and time in history, oil is the tie that binds most if not all of those other factors. I totally disagree with the idea that flex fuel vehicles are the answer, as you will only be trading one combustible for another and will in the end only further entangle peoples daily lives with the true problem which is not oil per say, but energy. You would, regardless of statement to the contrary, cut into world food supplies in a manner that would guarantee war even faster than oil itself ever could. I agree that alternative need to be developed, yet I believe that the answer in the very short term is a better use of current sources until the next technology is perfected. For example, we need better utilize our solar, wind, hydroelectric, natural gas and nuclear power in a manner that drastically cuts our dependence on oil be it foreign or domestic.
