Are you suggesting that if we get another source of energy besides oil that Jihadists will cease to hate Jews? <br />Maybe you just seek to impoverish those and thereby render them impotent? If it is the latter, you should really pick up a history book. <br />You cannot win a war like this with economics. Whatever you do (pay them, or starve them) it will only empower the radicals. Sanctions of certain types may help, but in the end it comes down to a cultural war backed with the threat of real military action. <br />A realistic approach would be something like: You ban/persecute our faiths and lifestyles in your nations, we heavily regulate yours in ours. You kill our children, we kill you and your leaders.<br />That is the only discourse that has proven effective in this conflict. <br />The Israelis understand this, and we should too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739783974158130525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-42096184571856043102012-03-28T15:02:57.820-04:002012-03-28T15:02:57.820-04:00The oil market is a world market. The price of oil...The oil market is a world market. The price of oil isn’t affected by where it’s drilled. “Our” oil is no more or less expensive than “their” oil. Because our share of the world’s oil reserves is relatively modest, the increase in the global supply of oil due to an increase in domestic production will also be very modest. “Drill baby drill” will do nothing for our economy except enrich oil executives and oil company stock holders in the short term. This short term solution does nothing to address the long term problem. It actually makes it worse by leaving us in a less competitive position in the future.<br /><br />Then there’s global warming. The best place for oil is in the ground. But you don’t give a shit; it’s all just a giant conspiracy to destroy capitalism or some such nonsense. Fool.<br /><br />-KWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-2729557732747479082012-03-28T10:49:26.299-04:002012-03-28T10:49:26.299-04:00@KW,

As the supply diminishes, the market will respond with alternatives. <br /><br />Some of the power Islamists have acquired is the consequence of idiot environmentalists (you know who you are) who have forced us to be depoendent on foreign oil.mregnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431770851694587832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-8469267617129279122012-03-28T10:05:29.000-04:002012-03-28T10:05:29.000-04:00All the more reason to replace oil as the dominate...All the more reason to replace oil as the dominate energy source ASAP. <br /><br />-KWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
