And I really think 'kicking the energy addiction' should be made part of the war on terror. A way to rally national support for 'the cause'.

Nah...too "nuanced" for persuasion of the right...

Yes, totally agree. If we brought multiple strategies to bear, I am convinced we could easily reduce our oil consumption by the 5 million barrels a day needed to ween the U.S. off of all oil purchased from the Middle East. That should be a stated goal of this country: reduce our need for oil to the point where we don't purchase any oil from the Middle East.
