So why are we still doing business with the Saudi's? Easy, we need their oil. Will Bush ever come down hard on the Saudi's? No way, the Bush family has made millions dealing with the Saudi's. Spending the billions we have spent on war in the Mideast on alternative energy source development and cutting our dependence on foreign oil would go a long way to changing the worlds political climate. Do you think the Saudi government would support the terrorists if the U.S. could threaten to cut off the petro-dollars. Do you think that Bush or Cheney have any desire to cut our need for oil in any way? Check out their past businesses and see if you can find ties to oil.

Center of gravity? There are millions of Muslims in the world, a calculated few are managing to disrupt and terrorize. Before we had 9/11 we had Oklahoma City-no Islamic Jihad there, just a couple of white guys from Kansas. We face (and always have) security threats from many different sources. My point is that fighting a supposed global terrorist threat by bombing Iraq is crazy. When and if peace is achieved in Iraq, will it be sustainable? And at what cost of American lives and dollars? I said it before-the world is a better place without Saddam, but this President's rush to war in Iraq will do little to improve the security of our country.
