Those "Awesome goodies that they play with" are created for one purpose; to kill people. As Kaiser Tia mentions, these weapons are sold to dictators all around the world who use them to blow up their citizens. As just one example, this year alone, the U.S. was hoping to sell Libya an additional $77 million dollars of those awesome goodies (higher than the previous record of $46 million from the U.S. in 2008) Gadhafi is using all those horrible weapons against his people right now, just because they want democracy. The list of other clients for these weapons is long and just as, if not more despotic. How awesome is that?

That can't possibly catch on. Bad design. It looks too much like the @ symbol and when hand written will always be confused for that. Also a bad idea to place a dot so close to the lines. A dot works on letters where it is clearly separate from the rest of the letter (i,j) Try to put a dot in the middle of an m and you`re asking for trouble.

The point to make if you want to argue that wars have nothing to do with oil is to say "look, we went to war and now the oil companies are making no money. So it cant have been about oil"
Wars have been fought over oil for over half a century now, democratically elected Mosaddegh of Iran was overthrown in 1953 by the US and UK after he nationalised the oil companies. Not so that westerners could have cheap gas, but so that oil corporations could have access to the oil. The CIA documents on this have been declassified so you can look it up.
And that's just one of many.
