Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "Maybe so but we can't disengage from the Middle East. No matter how much Buchanan and you piss and moan about it, the EU and Japan are just as dependent on oil as we are, and nobody is walking away from that."

If it's impossible to disengage from the Middle East because of oil, then how come so many nations that are even more dependent on oil than we are have successfully disengaged from the Middle East? In addition to there being a missing link in your chain of logic, it is incompatible with the current situation.
