Presently we are the worlds biggest consumer of oil by a very large margin. We have the only military than can protect the Gulf.

I have said many times that when some large nation in the gulf area falls the worlds oil consuming nations will be compelled to do whatever it takes to keep oil flowing from the gulf.

Realistically our dependence on oil from the gulf region will only grow from here because oil supplies outside the gulf area in total are in steep decline.

I hope Kerry promotes strong increases in fuel economy, and promotes including vans and trucks in the standards. But no politician has the fortitude to bring that one to fruition.

Spend some time studying global demographics and oil supply patterns and you will be better suited to appreciate our future dependence on ME oil.
