Selling a natural resource you have and then reinvesting that back into the country is natural, is it not? Chavez has done this in Venezuala, much to your disgust. My god, he's using the resource for something useful and helping his people. Russia did it, Iran is doing it. Big deal. America would IF it had the oil to do it. Think there's a bit of jealousy here.

We've got plenty of oil in Alaska. It's just that lefties and planet worshiping dingbats won't let us dig up there.

Bush campaigned on refusing to open up the oil fields in Alaska. He pointed out that it was a strategic reserve. I.E., a reserve to be accessed only in the event of nuclear war.
He has turned his back on this position, unfortunately. I just thought you might want to hear a non-Leftist analysis for why we should not tap the Alaskan reserves. I could give a flying crap about reindeer games. |

Well after 9-11 Americans ought to. And it ought to be US policy to . |

How long has it taken to get people to stop smoking. That's a real and personal threat. Pictures, research have all shown to show the detrimental effect of smoking. But people still do it. The lobbies and the cigarette companies have been a full force to put across their messages, policy is now finally stopping people from inhaling others cigarette smoke. It has taken a lot to get to this stage.
9/11 was a long time ago. To try and link that to enough American people to boycott Iran is not going to happen. Americans like the real, here and now threat. Boycotting Iran is not going to reach enough to make any significant difference.
What policy can you implement to make American's do it? It's just not feasible.[/quote]
1) Technology that allows the US and other nations to use less oil.
2) Higher gas , taxes and a tax on imported oil is a good start.
3)Right after 9-11 Americans would have gone for it if the case had been made. |
