To what do you think you are replying??? Have I said or in any way suggested any of that? America does not want Iraqi oil for free, America wants a stable supply of oil from the Middle East And is willing to kill for it. That is why so many of us who thought America better than this are so disappointed.

One way, already agreed on by most, to get a stable supply of oil is to stabilize the price to a level which makes it possible for the producing countries to both produce, service existing equipment and drill for new supplies. (I'm sure you know how much those costs vary from producer to producer) All while avoiding pumping too much and too much, especially for those who already are too close to the Hubbard Peak to be able to produce really cheap oil. (I'm sure you knew that too) Having the price swing from $30 down to $10, under the production plus investment costs for many, is not really smart, except for destablizing the future costs. Additionally that little thing of using that oil in more efficient ways, investments in the consumer markets for both that a higher level of conservation. It is really sad when the largest consumer economy is doing so little of that, for example keeping a very old,inefficient, outdated steel industry going, not with investments in a more modern and efficient, but by taxes on those who are more modern and efficient. And in additiona to those primary industrial consumers, also both housing, airconditioning, and especially transportation (of both single persons and goods) Ilmarinen Is it correct to assume you know something about the Hubbert Peak?? (and where different producers are sitting on the uphill curve)
