I don't know since I am not an oild importer. But they are a major producer that supplies the world. If they signed a contract with China great, that means less oil China will purchase elsewhere that other countries buy. If we were allowed to drill for our own resources where the proven reservse are that would make a difference, then we would not even be having this discussion AND we would be creating jobs and keeping our dollars in the US rather than exporting them. BTW it would not just be the oil company jobs either ... think of the suppliers, etc, etc.

As for "if" tehre could be a democracy in the middle east and specifically Iraq .... it sure seems the people of Iraq like that and want that. They get better election turn outs than we do in the US.

There were so many benefits to the war in Iraq beyond oil. Lets start with the 300,000 people that were killed and found in mass graves. What about women and their rights and freedom. That alone I would think liberals like yourself would be all over.

We were fighting and chasing terrorist cells so they could not organize to attack us again. I believe the war did keep us safe and no one said it would be easy to destroy and weaken terrorist networks. I hope we do not have any further attacks, but I agree with MM you see what is happening in N Korea and as we pull out of Iraq it will just be a matter of time that training camps are set up again. Yes they did have them in Iraq as well.

To fight terrorism I do believe you need to hunt them down to keep them on the run and weak. As you pointed out that they think differently ... I do not believe all Muslims or people in the Middle east support terrorism. But those that take their relious beliefs to the extreme can be stopped in you can allow those that want to be free and have a better life rise up against terror.

By throwing up your hands and saying it can never be changed is a bit disappointing.
