Itch - they've got to sell their oil to somebody. We can just buy oil on the open market, just like every other country on earth. As one of the richest countries, we can afford to pay more than most countries, and shouldn't have any problems finding people to sell us oil. Russia is the world's largest exporter now.

Your fears are baseless. Iran will happily sell us oil if we quit busting their chops constantly, as will Iraq and every other Muslim country. It's our disproportionate support for Israel that REALLY upsets all the Arabs in the ME.

All we have to do is be fair and evenhanded. Bush is incapable of this, but perhaps our NEXT President can get the ball rolling.
