I enjoythe power and the speed. My SUVs burn less gas them my classics....
However, the problem with Oil is not Iraq.... it is the liberal in the US who will not let us drill for oil in our own back yards! We have enough oil in the US to last this nations needs for the next 100 years... we just need to drill it!
Alex, the issue with Iraq is not oil - at least this time - it is about a dictator having WMD - refusing to give them up, and not living up the the cease fire.

The proble with Iraq is not oil, but Mike AI, you have it wrong too...
One of our problems is that we are addicted to oil. (that is not causing the current conflict, but it is an issue)
Alcohol is a cleaner fuel and has been available much longer than oil.... It also can be produced by just about anything.
We stopped putting our development money into Alcohol along about the turn of the century... Not because it wasn't viable, but predominantly because of the Temperance movement.
The big oil companie have the bucks to command policy and as far as they are concerned, there is no need to put money into Alcohol or other Alternatives until we have pumped every bit of oil we can out of the ground.....
We do not need more oil wells, we do not need more Oil imports... We need more money going into developing the Fuel Alcohol industry in our country... Take us totally off of any foreign dependence.....
