What about two of the OPEC leaders? Aren't they Saudi Prince Abdallah and Venezualan Dictator Chavez, both anti-American zealots?

You know more about that area than I, but fanaticism isn't dead by a long shot. The days of the 1970s embargos are too far in the past to evoke any sense in the minds of the more radical OPEC Ministers of the Year 2001.

I'm of a mind that people like this would prefer to drive us into another set of energy issues that may cripple commerce globally.

Am I wrong? I would love to be.
