If you launched a media blitz that emphasized
1. 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis
2. Saudi support for some of those hijackers
3. Saudi attempts at manipulating economy and elections
4. The hate preached by the Saudi state relgion against the US

you might stir up a little justifiable racism. While the euroweenies might scream, Americans (the only folks who matter...) might buy it.

Personally, I'd rather buy oil from Russia and boost their economy, though. Do they have enough to sell it to us?

I'm not sure how much Russia can ratchet up production in the short-term, but with oil at over $30/barrel, you'd think a lot of folks would be gearing up production as much as they could. Sure do wish we were doing a better job in utilizing our American reserves.
