What I find hilarious, besides the Taliban being flattened one night at time, are all these nations who think that they could take us on. I mean let's do a reality check. If we quit buying oil from nations like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia and sucked it up as a nation (yes, that means rationing) for say, oh a month or so, they would go broke and be screwed. Instability would be the catch phrase and then they would beg for our help. The hypocrites who cry at us and hate us will be the same who beg for their lives from us. And I like it that way.

Also, I would accept rationing to teach these bastards a lesson. Much as it would hurt my gas guzzling SUV, it's fine with me, if it hurts our enemies.

..or better yet, found or invented an alternative source.

Nah, I'm not talking from some hippy environmentalist point of view, more like a attempt by the West (through science, research) to cut ourselves off from dependency from these people.

Refineries could be converted for this purpose, so as not to shock some hardworking folks ;)

Hey, nations of OPEC, how do you feel about such a program?....................The Taliban really is a pimple on the @$$ of the world, aren't they?
