MSM isn't out there telling us what to discuss on these threads everyday, but the only time a good conversation gets going is when there is a pig roast for a rebulican or a democrat. If Bush's policies are as bold as I predict, we have already seen the collapse in global terrorism. The lack of credibility of Al Quaeda and the Taliban is being confirmed on a daily basis by the trade data for oil. Look at the correction from $78 before Israel humiliated Hezbelloh in Lebanon. Actually, they didn't have to really do anything except sit back and let Hezbelloh show their complete lack of credibility for conventional arms. They can't hit a target within 10 to 20 miles. How pathetic!! Now, Iran is trying to get the French to be their nuclear supervisor for uranium enrichment. They are starting to realize that their days of terror are over and it's time to make a deal now that oil prices are plunging below $60 and the West is increasingly independent of oil supplies from the ME. Canada and Mexico are the 2 biggest oil importers for the US. Then, Saudi Arabia and Venezeula come tie for 3rd and 4th. After that, it really doesn't matter. Russia is getting ready to come onto the global market with another 1 million barrels per day. Oil, oil everywhere and not a drop to spare. However, we don't need to buy oil from religious fanatics that threaten to force the Pope to convert to Islam. It is absurd to think that the ME was going to sell us oil at top dollar prices and threaten our way of life with religious conversion. Without oil revenues, the ME is going to get leave alot of money on the table as we find new oil suppliers. Look at Chavez, he just cost his country 50,000 barrels of oil per day for calling Bush a drunk and the devil. What kind of a world leaders speaks out of his ass like that? I hope his people realize they are the laughing stock of the world, as we now contemplate how much we hate the rest of the world. If the SA's and the Muslims want to do business in America, they better learn some business etiquette. I think the fundamentalist movement in Islam is going to come to a screeching halt.
