Why don't you take a stab at defining "fungible" and explaining how it's relevant to the discussion of Middle East oil? Hint: in what sense does it matter to America if militant Islamic fundamentalists cut off US oil supply, Japanese oil supply, Chinese oil supply, or European oil supply? Can any of us prosper if we lose any of the others?

Sorry if I am being impatient. Look, we are all in this together. We really are. We are trading partners, as well as competitors. We need each other. The US needs Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa, the rest of the Americas, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, as trading partners, as well as friends and allies. Y'all need us, too. We need each other. It doesn't matter whether you support Bush or Kerry. If the election goes as I expect, Kerry will be irrelevant tomorrow. And in four years, Bush will be irrelevant. And we will still need each other.
