Steve: Then why not address the fact that so many oil companies (like Haliburton and Carlyle) make lots of their money in Arab countries? Because it's obvious that they do. My point oh those many posts ago was that they could make much much more with an embargo. And why not address the high oil prices lead to conservation and alternative energy paradox? That, too, is obvious. Market forces. Do you still stand by your statement that Bush has demonstrated his independence from oil interests by not cutting off foreign imports from some Arab countries? I didn't say that. In response to Karen's comment that the Bush Administration was gouging the rest of the country at the expense of the American public, I merely stated that IF that was their intent there were far better ways to do that. I try to write carefully. Please try to read carefully. Rick
