Bilow, you fail to understand the threat when you say you have lived through an oil shortage before. THe threat of being a direct victim of a nuke attack is very low. But the threat of a terror attack against Saudi export facilities wont be similar to the 1973 embargo. Think the 1930's global depression instead.

Your consider Iraq a training ground for terrorists, Afghanistan as well? Reality shows something closer to a program to deliver to Allah those who are attracted to the beacon of hope developing in Iraq.

Go ahead and blame Bush if it feels good, but terrorists have known the value of destroying oil production facilities. Saddam used the oil weapon for years.
