So is _everything_ in the universe my friend. The sun will burn out in a few million years too then we'll all die so lets just do nothing. Let the rest of the world develop their resourses while we just sit here and pay them money. Hell.. in about 50 years Mexico will figure out a way to suck all of the oil out of the gulf right under our noses. (One of the reasons Sadam attacked Kuwait was because he believed they were horizontally drilling into his oil fields... never disproven.) Doing nothing and hoping all the bad stuff and people will just go away is a losing strategy. |

That "410,000" should be "$10,000".

hmm, there was no war for oil. it was for rescuing all those people from
terror and saving them from the terrorists. and getting rid of Hussein. Dang, I wish the war really *was* for oil. Then we all wouldn't be paying these ridiculous energy bills to a bunch of, er, "unfriendly indigenous peoples." -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Call me a raging conspiricist, but I thought Afghanistan and Iraq were object lessons for the ruling classes in neighboring states to show them how easily we could transform stable despotism into rampaging anarchy if they ticked us off. As for it being "for oil," if you're a speculator or a big holder in an oil company . . . . Cui bono? Don |

well, by average I meant day-in/day-out, dead in the winter time, gulf
states, whatever. 100LL will certainly reach $5/gallon this summer in many locations, but it'll retreat back as the summer passes. In 3 years however, $5/gallon 100LL will absolutely become the norm everywhere. Autogas STC folks (like me) will be salivating the fact that our autogas is *only* $4/gallon. |

...next 3 months might be closer. It just hit $4.25 per gallon here in Iowa City. That makes filling up the Mighty Grape (at $2.87 per gallon) with mogas seem positively cheap. (Although it's now over $150 to fill even the Grape!) :-( -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

There is a pretty good chance it will go back down, SOME. But I doubt we will ever see it under $2 again. That's what they were saying in the 70's during the oil embargo... It will come down. And in 1981 onward, IT DID! Unfortunately, we currently have a president and congress who are about as wimpy as they can get on domestic policy. Often, they're even worse--acting much like the liberals they campaign against. The United States likely has enough undiscovered oil to be the world's largest oil producer by a wide margin (we are already the third-largest exporter of crude oil), but we CHOOSE not to tap into that natural resource. Or, rather, we let the environmentalist wackos and their junk science make that choice for us. There is a limit to price, and that limit is where demand starts to fall. Right now, Americans may not be happy with $3-$4/gallon gas, but they're willing to pay for it, so there's really no incentive for lower prices. However, there is plenty of opportunity for politicians to latch on to the issue of high energy prices to promote agendas that would meddle with the market and create artificially high prices and true hardships for Americans; such is already evident in today's high prices. Consumers can control market price, but they can't control government mandate. JKG |

The cost of Iraq war isn't included in the defense budget. BS. Do you honestly believe we need the size of the military we have right now if we don't have a need for an oversea energy supply? Pretty much. |

Dang, I wish the war really *was* for oil. Yes, that's why we went into Afghanistan and took all their oil, then kept all the oil we looted from Iraq that was already pumping at high output... |
