Just FYI

For the naive, the ignorant or the dangerous among us who don't recognize the national security implications of retreat from Iraq, this is a healthy reminder of why it's a profoundly bad idea to let Iran gain dominance in the Middle East.

Anyone feel like walking 10 miles to work?

You may like to check out the danger posed by Peak Oil

We're not going to run out of oil soon, but as supply decreases so will the price of oil escalate.

One way the market responds is by using less oil - by walking to work, taking public transport or by people driving more fuel-efficient cars.

Although Peak Oil is an issue that many leftists have taken on board, it is not a "leftist" issue. Many conservatives should seriously consider the dangers posed by gradual oil depletion.

Well it is their oil and they're fixing output in the open unlike Cheney and the Petro CEO's secret meetings. Any descent business person would try to take advantage of Iraq being out of the oil supply market into the foreseeable future.

Given all the money Bush has thrown at Iraq, if it had been used to develop alternative and renewable energy, we'd all be well on our way towards energy independence.
