The Isolation of America
buchanan.org

by Patrick J. Buchanan
November 20, 1997

"What exactly is our vital interest in the Persian Gulf? If it is
oil, how is our oil supply threatened, when the three most
hostile OPEC nations -- Iran, Iraq and Libya -- are not
selling to us today, only because we refuse to buy? And what
exactly are the radical Arabs or Iran going to do with their
oil, if they don't sell it for Western dollars? Drink it? And
what military threat do these regimes present to an America
that has no troops in their region and no ships off their
coasts?"
