Yeah, I agree that we need to invest in alternative energy..or at least the private sector needs to invest in an alternative energy source. But the question is what do we do in the meantime? Without? Until such time as an alternative energy source is developed this country and the western world are dependent on raghead oil..whether you like it or not. The options are limited..buy it or take it. Buying it is easier and safer. I see that I have been attacked..typical when the argument cannot be refuted.

This country DOES INDEED DESPERATELY need to get SERIOUS about getting OFF of “our” ADDICTIVE DEPENDENCY on OTHER PEOPLES’ OIL.

But his OWN ignorance appears to be exposed by expressions of vacuous “thinking” to the effect that that can somehow be achieved just by “allowing some new drilling and refineries”.

Whether we like it or not the West needs Saudi Oil and the Saudi government needs the west. I figure the Saudi family is holding onto power by a thread and needs the help to keep the rabid ragheaded mullahs under control..the only possible answer from where I sit is for the dim-a-crits to pull their support for the greenies and allow some new drilling and refineries in order for the country to become energy independent from the raghead oil. They can't eat nor drink the crude oil and have been too gotdamn ignorant to use their money for any other industry other than what the Royal families have invested in the USA and Europe.

Ok, you're probably not reading this...)??? Us "fundies" can admit when one of you is right! I know it's hard to believe, but we really are grounded in logic. I know it's a shocker, but islamofascism and terrorism as encouraged by the quran, and as encouraged by Saudi funded wahabi mosques on U.S. soil, is BAD. If Edwards can see that, so can you. There might be hope for America yet. I hope now that Edwards has spoken out against Saudi Arabia, the source of many terrorists, many Americans will start to pay attention and take off their PC blinders. I pray EVERYONE can stand united against terror and realize that no matter how "peaceful" you want to be, it would be criminal not to fight against people like Hitler- people intent on genocide, destroying freedom, and destroying this country. The end result of socialism is slavery, not some sort of PC multi-culturalistic party. The sooner the left realizes that, and stands up against Islam, the better chance America has at surviving.

Good for him and I also agree. Bush is not only fighting the terrorist, he now wants to arm them, WTF? WOW!
