Wrong.
We like oil.
Those Arabs just need to understand who's the boss.
That's all.
We are the most powerful nation in the history of the world.
We need to start acting like it

Nuclear is outlawed or stigmatized. Until Fussion comes down the pike it will probably be a while before any sources of energy lower our need on oil. However, the US is not as helpless as many expect. On the Business battlefield Alone. Here are some things we can do.
Go to ANWR, GULF,CALIFORNIA,OKLAHOMA,TEXAS,KANSAS,VENEZUELA,ETC.
Start producing tankers. And do the old FU, American BUSINESS style, the way American Businessmen have been known to handle situations before. Figure out what there cash flow is, Figure out what there cost / barrel is. Figure out what the service on there debt is. hahahaha, God I love business. Total that up and Send our tankers to all the places I listed above and start drilling here in the US. THEN when we are ready just CUT our buying of Middle east oil by 75% within a week those sons a guns will be bankrupt or forking that money over to cover their losses and service their debt which their cash flow is no longer covering. If you really wanted to do it. You could arrange before hand for no-one to float them a loan. Then be the only man at the table to float them a loan (until they get back on their feet;hahaha) then when they default announce on the news that the Saudi's have defaulted on their loan and as seize the assetts. hahahaha
Hay that is funny.
