The US has more than plenty of domestic oil so that we don't have to "fund the terrorists". You can't get any more "secure" than producing your own petroleum.

The US uses 20 million barrels of oil per day, but produces only 5 million. Where do we get the other 15 million barrels?

If your answer is ANWR, here are some quick facts:
* Total estimate recoverable ANWR oil = 10 billion barrels
* At 15 million barrels consumption per day, we'd go through that in 1.8 yrs.
* Ergo, ANWR is not a long term solution.

So your plan to continue using oil by producing all of our own needs, doesn't hold water. We have to diversify our energy supplies as part of the solution.
