What idiocy. Sovereign nations have this thing called “sovereignty”.

So what do we do when OPEC tells our courts to pack sand, go to war for oil?

Hillary has said that somehow we can work through the World Trade Organization to ensure that OPEC is not artificially fixing prices. who knows if that’s true but that’s what she said. She also said if we elected her, that would send a powerful message to world oil markets that we are now serious about alternative energy, and that fact itself would bring down prices................

Well, for starters, we can stop all aid to members of OPEC everywhere, and their allies.

Next is a technical embargo; any American company that uses foreign subsidiaries pays a price. They can buy from Europe? Great. They deserve each other.

Finally, there's the potential for a "food and high tech" embargo. The possibilities are limited only by our imagination.

What are they gonna do? Cut off access to the American tourist industry to Yemen?
