I think what needs to be considered is how much oil sits in the Gulf of Mexico.. Then there might be a valid point of saying it is for the reserves of oil. Granted yes the refined product from the Mid East contains less polluting sulfur than what we have in North America. You alos best be looking to the North country as well.. Mr Bush still wants to see oil exploration in Alaska. I need more of a convincing argument it is about the oil. One of the things that should be considered perhaps is the use of more fuel economic vehicles. Gees cut of the major demand and the money from the middle east gets less and less. Oh wait but this can't be right eithier by tree hugger standards, because this would mean we could lift the sanctions and still make these people suffer because once again the money is not there.. What needs to be in place is an higher education for these people in the Mid East. They need to learn the value of our systems and see it brings a little prosperity to all. Enhancing the qauility of life. The dictator needs to be over thrown so his people can survive by embracing a new way of living without forgetting about who they are. Does this not seem to hard to understand. The prosperity of Canada and the world relies on education of the masses, and I am not talking about the arcaic Industrial age education we recieve in the public school systems.
