The author rightfully bashes FDR for, like TR, making treaties with a foreign nation without the legislative branch's endorsement. However, the problem it addressed was not one so simple that I feel any need to judge FDR. As for the oil and Saudi Arabia leading the US by the nose - nope. I don't see it.
Mark this down under a general category which is "no government is smart enough to run its own business, much less the business of others". The less influence the US Govt provides, the less the US Govt will goon it up.
