David, Drilling the ANWR for oil threatens US National Security by providing an additional single point failure mode that is vulnerable to begin with. We don't have enough money to guard the pipeline and even if we could, it's age and condition make it vulnerable anyway. Since it's not economical to transport the oil, we should spend the dollars on deploying technologies that would have a savings in oil that dwarf the amount of oil we'd ever get from ANWR. That's the only viewpoint a rational person can have. Republicans should champion market-based solutions, not government driven manipulation. The hard part is stripping off the distortions caused by various government incentives created by Dems and Republicans to favor their own special interests. jbk
