Forget taxing the stuff--take as much as will feed the Iraqi population, then keep the rest until the war debt is paid.

Shouldn't take too long. And think about the effects on OPEC of having the country with the second highest reserves producing at max capacity. Our economy will boom on cheap oil.

The Saudis can't afford to stop production since they have a tremendous debt to finance. Stopping production wouldn't cause a huge increase in the price of oil anyway.

I really like the idea.
