Chirac’s comments may have been particularly heartening because France has been among the first to break ranks with its Western allies in recent conflicts, becoming, for instance, a vocal critic of continued economic sanctions against Iraq in the wake of the Gulf War. msnbc.com

Shutting down the oil consumption is only part of the money engine. How about the heroin and narcotics trade..seems like a more direct funding in Afganistan. As another thought of which I haven't thought through, some of things prohibited many be better controlled. 1) Like drugs..reduce narcotic import 2) Nuclear power, fuel cells...reduce oil dependency 3) Asbetos..If used, could of reduced consequences of the jet fuel fire in the WTC. 4) Pilot weapons..obvious. 5) CIA intelligence of foreigners in the USA.. This event turns upside down many pervious assumptions.
