THE INSANITY OF U.S. FOREIGN POLICY

MSI,

I just ran across a couple of interesting factoids at Harper's Index:

Estimated amount the United States spends each year safeguarding oil supplies in the Persian Gulf : $50,000,000,000

Source: Council on Foreign Relations (N.Y.C.)

Estimated value of U.S. crude-oil imports from the region last year : $19,000,000,000

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration/ Harper's research
