Who should control the world's oil? Terrorists or The US? Those are you choices. If you can't recognize that those are your ONLY choices, no sense in discussing.

Is that the free market at the point of a gun or a cruise missile? That's Bush's oil policy and plan for the mideast. The last time I checked, Bush has appropriated exactly zero barrels of mideast oil. Iraq, in particular, has sufficient oil reserves (which they own, not Bush or "big bad oil") to build a healthy and wealthy economy, providing that a stable political infrastructure can be developed to accomplish this. The terrorists who keep attacking the oil supply there are, in fact, stealing the wealth and future of their own people. And to say that the world is running out of petroleum sources is sheer chicken little hysteria. There are sufficient coal, oil shale and tar sand deposits in North America alone to supply the worlds needs for centuries to come. Further development of these is just a matter of economics and rational environmental policies. One last point... Nuclear generation of electricity produces NO greenhouse gasses whatsoever. Too bad that the whimpering doom mongers have all but killed its implementation in this country...
