re: #256 MagnaniomousCoward

No I am not tilting at gas pumps. I am simply stating a fact. The west, because it depends on OIl has to cow tow to the vile demands of the Arab regimes to a greater or lesser extent. There is only one world oil market which we set up - because it was profitable at the time to do so. The price of that is our political and military leverage being countered by brutal and fanatical Arab regimes.
