Post #11,599 by wharris2 10/3/01 7:08:37 PM Reply	Re: <grin> and they say... Thank you very much. BTW: $30 price per barrel of crude increase. Now what do you do? Suck it up, drill more Alaskan wells, and build more nuclear power plants. (Which we should be doing anyway, but that's almost beside the point.) I'd almost rather negotiate with a declared enemy than a wishy-washy ally. What's the Biblical verse about lukewarm? Ye are neither hot nor cold and I will spew thee out of my mouth (or something to that effect.) Who knows how empty the sky is In the place of a fallen tower. Who knows how quiet it is in the home Where a son has not returned. -- Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966)
Post #11,615 by Simon_Jester 10/3/01 7:48:14 PM Reply	I hear ya. But building nuke plants and drilling oil wells are gonna take time. And, while it solves our problems, it won't solve Japan's, GB, etc. Like it or not, the Saudia's can use their oil as a club to bash our coalition. And, we're still ignoring the base problem, why the Saudia's are "willywashy" in the first place.

They're not willing to let us use their soil for air strikes or invasions into Afghanistan. Sounds wishy-washy to me. Who knows how empty the sky is In the place of a fallen tower.
