Bingo! The western world would soon fall apart with out the free flow of
oil. The next big war will be involve two or all of China, India or the
US.
Russia will side with who ever pays them the most for their oil.

In a few years the US out of national necessity will have to crack open
the
Gulf of Mexico, the California Coast, and all of the untapped resources in
Alaska.

Yep, that will solve the problem for about a year, then we will be in eactly
the same place.
Remeber when little Bush decided to drop raising the CAFE average in the
first few weeks of his term? THis is *not* the kind of thinking that is
going to solve this problem.
