Let's look at this from the viewpoint of a typical Moslem.
There must be a Jew in there somewhere causing all that trouble.

Theres a conspiracy of silence around Saudi, says Release Internationals CEO Andy Dipper, probably because the West wants their oil and their money. But this is a government that hands out the death sentence for its own citizens who want nothing more than the freedom to choose their own faith. And while Saudi bans all Christian literature, it spends billions of dollars each year propagating Islam around the world.
A very important fact. Saudi Arabia is the world's bagman for terrorists - not a trusted ally. They just need us for petrodollars.

Wakeup America Ping!
Governments in even moderate Muslim countries often fail to safeguard the rights of their Christian minorities. Abuses suffered by Christians include kidnapping, forced conversion, imprisonment, church destruction, torture, rape and execution.

"...And while Saudi [Arabia] bans all Christian literature, it spends billions of dollars each year propagating Islam around the world. And not just any brand of Islam, either. The Saudis promote Wahhabism, which is one of the more virulent strains of Islam.
Diplomats, by their very nature, often engage in what can best be described as useful hypocricy. But one has to wonder: Is there really anything particularly useful about our continuing to pretend that the Saudis are our allies? (Yes, they occasionally knock off a jihadist or two. But that is entirely a matter of self-defense, rather than a function of pro-Americanism.)

And if there aren't they will invent, as I heard a Muslim girl swearing that media icon - Christian: Rupert Murdoch is "jewish".

We must begin by drawing the line at our own boarders. Muslim immigration to our nation must cease and repatriation of those presently here must be considered.

I fully agree. And they are using those petrodollars to colonize the USA and other non-Muslim nations. Saudi Arabia is funding the mosques being built across our nation, picking the clerics for the mosques, subsidizing immigration costs for the Muslims coming, and what I consider the worst, supplying Saudi published textbooks for Muslim schools that teach hatred of Christians and Jews.

Come to think of it, Remember the utter silence a few years back at the (Indonesia's regional) Maluku (Malucu) islands' atrocities by Islamists on Christians including mass rape, massacres?

When they talk about Saudi oil and even ME oil, I wonder if we have a clear idea just how dependent we are on Saudi oil. It would appear that America isn't dependent on Saudi oil to any great extent, but that Europe, Japan, and China are highly dependent on Saudi oil. Is there anything wrong in letting Europe, China, and Japan pay their own way for a while?
To: RightWhale
No.
But I think part of the problem are the international oil cartels.
They can pump oil from one area, ship it somewhere else to be refined, mix it there with oil from another source and ship it somewhere else.
Although most of our old doesn't come from the Saudis, if the production of Saudi crude drops or the demand for it increases, the cartels can move crude from other sources to meet the increased need for Saudi crude, reducing the amount of the oil available to us.
The product goes where the market is and the prices are highest.
Somehow the commodity dealers also get involved in the picture.
Or at least that SEEMS to be the way it goes. As an oil outsider, I'm just guessing.
If anybody thinks the price of oil dropped before the elections, then rose to near pre-election levels shortly thereafter as an "accident" I have a bridge I can sell them.
Although Bush personally can't manipulate the oil market, the Saudis can and they are old friends of the Bush Family.
Also, the international cartels could have decided all by themselves that a Democrat Congress would be a bad thing - with rationing, restrictions on new drilling, etc, and decided on their own to drop the price of petroleum derivatives.
But we can only guess. Only the oil companies know for sure - and the Saudis.

That is true. Oil is a fungible commodity. But, the USA could get by well enough on Venezuela, Mexico, Nigeria, and Canada in addition to its own fields. No doubt the price would take off if Saudi oil were cut off. It is those others who would be hit hardest.

So that's why the left is in love with an ideology that supports flying planes into buildingsk cutting heads off Jewish journalists, forcing conversions under threat of death.
