Hi RD,
Oh I was just getting started = ). There is Canada, Mexico, Venezuala (an oldpecker member but could be made to see the 'light'), Vietnam and many others who would love to have a better trading arrangement or better relations with the USA.
60% of the oil we use is imported, but only 10% comes from Saudi Arabia. Let the Japanese buy that stuff. We have been used by the world long enough and our President knows it. And now the world knows it. President Bush said it best,"...you are with Us or with the terrorist..." Saudi policy amount to terror and they are th enumber one financier of terror. (don't ya just love how the White House press corps has gone from 'Bush'and 'hey you' to "Mr. President" and "Sir"?!! when refering to G.W.!)
Conservation has to be a part of that also, but conservation is really lefto-speak for 'doing with less' Real conservation, and new technologies in addition to responsible exploration will put oil prices back down where they belong in a true market system.
Keep em Running!
