That's the root of the problem. Quit buying anything from them, including their oil and they'll be living in tents in the desert in 10 years. Trouble is, who wants to pay $8 a gallon. Maybe if it got rid of regimes like this one it might be worth it. Choices.

No one WANTS to pay more. 5 years ago, I'd have screamed even thinking about gas above $5/gal. Now, I understand more about islam, and the threat it poses to the world.

For $8/gal, we can buy the demise of nutjobs like Ahmadinejad. Not to mention, at $8/gal, alternatives would come to the market faster. Now that I know what I'm buying... yes, I'd pay $8/gal.

Ahmadinejad reminds me of that Geico commercial:

"Sorry, we didn't know you guys were still around."

I think the only choice is when we stop buying Iranian oil. And that will only heppen when the war with Iran is taken to Iranian soil.

Gasoline in Germany is around $6.70 right now. You can get by with fewer oil (nations like Germany, Italy etc. who never had access to sizeable amounts of own oil had to adapt to using less oil for decades), but then again, we have 200 mph - trains *lol.

Personally, I'm also of the opinion that Iraq was the wrong target in the war on terror, as the 9-11 attackers were almost exclusively Saudis. But the Saudi princes are willing to sell their oil while funding terrorism at the same time. And we are stupid enough to let them get away with it.

Damn, I want nuclear fusion reactors right now!!!
