John Re...On average, for every 10 barrels an oil company sells, its exploration teams find just four new barrels — a trend that can go on only so long. Indeed, most Western oil firms now say the only way to halt this slide is to get back into the Middle East, which kicked them out during the OPEC nationalizations of the 1960s and '70s. This has, in fact, become the mantra of the oil industry: Get us back into the Middle East or be prepared for trouble. And the Bush administration seems to have taken the message to heart. Here you are, once again, posting a message about the urgency of finding an alternate to oil, but you seem to ignore that last sentence. A good part of the reason we are in the middle east, is because of the oil. How come you don't back the war then, so we can assure access to that oil, until we can develop an alternative.
