I'm very far from being a peacenik, but war should only be a diplomatic tool of the last resort, like our very survival is at stake?

Do you really not think it is? I for one think it is. And oil IS the life-blood of our economy. If it comes to it, we either go to war over oil or give up everything--our way of life, our economy, our military superiority--completely.

In the long run, I think a war with fundamentalist Islam is inevitable. In fact, we've been in one for decades. It's going to heat up, big time, though, before it's over. I just want us to win it.

Please read my reply to sentryoveramerica. You maybe correct that islam will bring war to us, and one way that it can happen is if the islamic states uses oil as a weapon to destroy our economy. If the saudis do this, then America should fight them with all our might. I believe we will be in high moral grounds, and the country will be united in such a war. But the saudis are not stupid, at least I hope I'm correct in my assessment. The saudis know our capability(Desert Storm, Afghanistan) and President GWB. In fact, the saudis have already said that they will NOT use oil as a weapon, but we will have to wait and see. The islamist are not famous for keeping their words.
