Economic warfare works in both directions. Remove the buyers from the Middle East and suddenly there are no functioning economies there. The lack of a long term plan to reduce energy dependence is troubling and Bush hasn't addressed this at all. Maybe its too "haaard". There was a reason for my pointing out energy usage statistics. 4% of the world (the US) uses 25% of the energy of which a substantial percentage comes from oil and most of that is imported -- That's the weakness facing the US... not geographic boundaries and potential future alliances. As individuals we are not blameless. Who owns a SUV? Who drives to the corner store 10 blocks away? The 1970's taught America that you could reduce consumption and still have a life.
