It seems to me that Saudi Arabia IS the source of so much of our headaches...We need to power up our oil from ANWR, get the oil going from Mexico, and cut OFF the money to SA and let them drown in their own oil!
China will just buy the difference, and it won't affect the Saudi cash flow much at all.
And also drill along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. The enviromentalillists will complain but they're hypocrites. If one really cared about the environment, one would realize that the best place to drill for oil is in the country that has the highest safety and pollution safeguards in the world -- the United States.
Taking charge of Saudi Arabia is the goal of al Queda. It will not be allowed to happen.
