My thread title says it all. My FRiends, we have turn the Middle East's black gold back into sand; sorta like anti-alchemy. And the fact that it took me 6 years after 9/11 to come to that metaphor should be a TON of fun for ya'll to make fun of me. I put it on a tee for you.....so have at it. Oh. and if anyone has any ideas on how to make 10 trillion barrels of oil worthless....please say so. No reason to turn the WHOLE thread into a joke at my expense.

I would like to poll Freepers their opinion to this question. We have our hands full in Iraq, keeping warring factions apart. Our biggest fear is that if we leave too soon, Iran takes over. What if we made our next priority getting rid of Ach-the-Mad's regime? How do you think this would change the dynamics for us to need to keep troops on the ground in the Middle East, as well as other consequences?
