The Islamic nations by and large oppose Westernization. This has led Iran to risk war by threatening to close off the Straits of Hormuz, cutting off the shipping lanes within Iranian territorial waters to international traffic.
This should be a wake-up call to Washington blockheads to get off the dime and approve the Keystone pipeline, start drilling in the Alaskan wilderness area, and do everything possible to replace American dependence on foreign oil with domestic oil production.
Building electric cars and developing clean, alternative energy sources are necessary goals for the future. In the meantime, let's obtain, refine and use as much American coal and oil as possible, and natural gas as well. Use the primaries and 2012 elections to weed out all of the obstructionists who are keeping America dependent upon foreign sources of energy.
Do we not also have the right to close off the Gulf of Mexico to foreign shipping?
