>>Who ever said US wanted the oil all to themself. How about oil at fair market price for all.

>Ah. The altruistic U.S. is having it's own sons and daughters die for my good? Thanks, but I'll take a pass.

I don't know about Canada, but oil is the only viable energy source we have. Isn't much of wourld's economy dependent on oil? We need oil to travel, to tranport goods, heat our homes, to run our cars etc.... What would actually happen if our oil supply was severely resticted by a hostile regime?

Would one make light of oil supply if all of sudden gas become too expensive. Or if companies close down becuase of lack of energy source? Or if thousands of people loose their jobs because of oil?

I'm not just asking you, but I'm just asking in general. Yeah we could produce other source of energy, but how long would that take? Can our economy survive long enough to convert to other source of energy?

I agree that there are lot of slime balls in the oil business, but isn't the assurance of fair market price of oil worth fighting for? After all oil is worlds blood line, isn't it?

Please tell I'm wrong so I can use other readily available source of energy.


>Well, quite a number of sections of the Millenium Declaration to which both Britain and the U.S. were signatories. The U.N. are supposed to make these kinds of decisions, not the U.S. The U.S. signed and then said "stick it".

Another vague document they can't/won't enforce. What else is new?
Declarations and ultimatums are only as effective as those that are willing to enforce them. And history of UN on enforcing human rights and genocide won't impress anyone.
