"Less than 10% reduction in US usage, if taken from the M.E., would crash their economy and cause the Saudis to either modify their government"

You may be right here. I noticed that you did not answer my question though. For those who are curious, about 10% of U.S. oil consumption is from ME sources. The Europeans on the other hand use a lot (upwards of 30%). It is my belief that this is the reason they side with terrorists when choosing who to back in the Isreali-Palestinian conflict.

Even though I slammed you in my last post, I AGREE WITH YOU that we should find a way to do without this 10%. Should be relatively easy imo. I would like to see some of these contries that I am learning to hate have to make it on their own.
