Rolo, I want what your having... it really seems to get to you.

"THEY" (I hate that word) aren't thinking about oil directly, but their actions are a result of the actions taken by the US. It has been a tit for tat escalation that started with some troops in the Saudi desert and has moved along to two countries being invaded and overtaken, and terrorist actions on the other side. The US is fighting it's war for things it wants, and the other side (THEY) are fighting for what they believe in. What THEY believe in might be wrong, but THEY believe, and have convinced more than enough people that they are right.

Think about it... where did this start? Some troops in the Saudi desert? Supporting the Shah in Iran?

IMHO, if there wasn't a Bush in the Whitehouse, history since 2001 would be different and the world a much different (and probably safer) place. It's personal, all of this... The Bush family is the PERSONAL target of muslims and arabs alike... OPEC is just taking a very subtle approach to doing the same thing.

As for the Canadian thing, well, wouldn't the US protect Alaska? That's not glass house stuff, thats just normal.
