"That's the real problem, isn't it? People say "I don't mind the low
gas
mileage on this thing I drive. I can afford the gas." In fact, they
should
be saying "Indirectly, my son died in Iraq to protect the oil supply
which
we wouldn't need (someday) if our dicks weren't so wrapped up in the
kinds
of cars we drive".

How much oil was there in Bosnia, when Clinton sent troops there to
die? Or how about Somalia? Did they have much oil? Or Vietnam or
Korea? But suddenly oil is the only reason the US is in Iraq. LOL
Fools like Doug don't learn from history.

They don't read sources other than the socialist-biased major
media,either.If they read some conservative sources,they would know better.

They think that if the US
somehow no longer needed to import oil that we could just ignore a hot
spot like the Middle East and let anything happen. Like we ignored
Afghanistan for over a decade, while the Taliban let Bin Laden run
terrorist training camps.

The simple fact is, the world will need large quantities of oil for as
far as anyone can see. The world can't afford to let that oil and all
the revenue fall into hostile hands, like Bin Laden for example,
because with all that money and unlimited power, everyone knows what
that would lead to. Doug would sit here driving his Yugo, living in
his solar powered house, feeling nice and superior, till one day he
realized half the world was at war, with Bin Laden now a nuclear power.
