Crude Oil's up to about US$ 66 a barrel now.
$66/42 = $ 1.57 per gallon BEFORE refining, shipping, taxes

Should have dealt with N Korea in the 50's, and Iran in 1979.
Appeasement doesn't work.

[
In 1994, the Clinton administration convinced North Korea to stop its nuclear
weapons program and allow United Nations monitors into the country. In return,
the US and other countries pledged to replace North Korea's nuclear power plants
that produce plutonium, a key ingredient in nuclear weapons, with light-water
reactors, which don't. They also agreed to send North Korea oil to help replace
the electricity lost when the nuclear plants shut down.
]
[
North Korea has said it wants the Bush administration to revalidate agreements
made in the fall of 2000 with President Clinton, including a US pledge to not
use nuclear weapons against them.
]

[
Then, in 2000, George W. Bush was elected president of the United States. The
first thing the Bush administration did was cut off all negotiations and all
contact with North Korea.
]

[
Turning its sights to new targets, the Bush administration named Iran, Iraq, and
North Korea as members of an "Axis of Evil." Immediately, Bush singled out Iraq
because of its "Weapons of Mass Destruction."
]

Should have kept the agreements, treaties & followed the laws.
But the neocons needed to create threats to justify power grabs
& fraud.
