Democrates believe that energy conservation and forcing auto makers to bring more economical cars into the market will do the trick. It won't.
W has talked about invading Iran, an OPEC nation. We've already attacked one OPEC nation, Iraq. It would not be beyond any stretch of the imagination to suggest invading the rest of OPEC, such as Saudi Arabia, under the guise of fighting terrorists. Remember, all the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi nationals.
Where would all the warm bodies come from to feed the meat grinder? The Army hasn't quite figured out to outsource combat operations. Everyday, thousands of people risk their lives crossing the border to fulfill their glorious American dream. They don't know that the American already here have lost faith in The Dream of a two car garage, cheap gas, and 36 month car payment at 6 percent.
Instead of turning away these brave, naive potential Americans, the Army might set up tables, put out lemonade, and sign-up sheets along the Rio Grande. Sign up right here on the dotted line for two tours in Saudi, and if you survive, you get American citizenship. Woooohooo!
Then, the rest of us REAL American can go back to trying to figure out who Brad Pitt will sleep with next. We won't need to worry anymore about killing our own kids. Instead of Casey doing the dying, it will be Carlos dying for the cheap gas. THAT's the real American dream!
