When we spending hundreds of billions on oil, alot of that money goes to the Middle East potentates, who then make large donations to sham Islamic charities who then funnel that money to terrorists. Ergo. Eliminate our need to import oil by becoming energy independent and we do extreme damage to the finances of Middle East rulers and to terrorists. It's not easy to become energy independent, but the technology exists today to get us there, if we just had the political will to do it.

Tell me where Osama got all of his money. Did you know 9/11 cost about $500k to carry out? Even less if attacks are funded and supplied by Iran. How much crude does Iran export to the US?

Ok, the US stops using middle east oil. Now how do you propose to stop the rest of the world from buying it? The political will to stop the worldwide use of middle east oil ain't gonna happen.

It all sounds and feels good, but the devil is in the details. Even if we had the govt to mandate that your idea would be implemented, nothing would change in the militant Muslim world.
