It doesn't matter where our oil comes from. It's a world economy. Whether we buy it from Canada or pump it from our own backyard, someone else can't. Using it -- wasting it -- increases demand, and funds radical Islam.

Exactly right. People think it hurts Iraq if we use twice as much oil but refuse their oil. WRONG. We increase the demand and increase how much money Iraq gets for their oil that goes to japan or germany or wherever.

Well, it seems that if our life style is bolstering the larder of Islamofascist terrorists, only two choices confront us: 1) Surrender our lifestyles, freedoms, and religion to Islam and become a 3rd world peasant nation, or 2) Crush the pagan scum so convincingly that they won't resurface on the geopolitical sea for another thousand years.

If we accept that we should stop using oil because terrorists will potentially profit from our buying it, then all that is necessary for them to deny us the use of any resource is to find some way to profit from it, anywhere in the world.
