John re: I'm going to take a WAG what you mean. wag away :-)) re: the issue is giving technology to India in that case you might want to consider reviewing NPT en.wikipedia.org NPT does not prevent countries to develop or buy technology for peaceful applications. re: A true Arab oil embargo, at this point in time, would throw the country into a very, very severe recession we'll just have rely on Iraq more and offer Russia more money for Russian oil. Our reserves are currently way above 2 years. And if that would push us to hydrogen fuel cell that may actually help our economy by creating jobs and potentially increasing exports. re: the truth is we are hugely dependent on the rest of the world global economy would make it so much harder for embargo. Severe recession in US would cause severe recession in the rest of the world including arab countries. SA can not afford not to sell oil to US - we might just withdraw our troops and watch the execution of royal family on our TVs. Arab embargo of oil is so improbably that is not even worth discussing...... -AK
