Don, >>Independence of Middle East oil does absolutely nothing to reduce the threat of terrorism in the US Independence from ME oil will give us the option of disengaging from the Middle East. I would say that this will considerably reduce the threat of terrorism. That's not my preference. I prefer that we use our money (and the rest of the West's money) to engineer peace. It can be done. A key component of the Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement was the money we promised and keep sending yearly to Egypt. In any case, the argument was about the economic advantages of free trade. Free trade is not a good deal if it costs an arm and a leg (literally and figuratively) to preserve it. Kyros
