[QUOTE="brett636, post: 313931, member: 249"] What happened the last time the government tried to regulate the price of oil? Oh thats right, we had major fuel shortages throughout the country with long lines of people at the gas pump only able to purchase a few gallons at a time. Staying the course is the safest route. An even safer route would be to loosen up regulations stifling growth in our own oil infrastructure. First off, if you want to start talking the debt our children will inherit we can talk about the debt laid onto our children by social entitlement programs you support. While that is for another day I will say social entitlements amount to $440,000 of debt for every man, woman, and child in this country. That is one heck of a hurdle to overcome. Don't give me this BS about Florida loosing its tourists or destroying its eco system by letting oil companies drill of its coast. You may want to stop to smell the hydrocarbons because Cuba is already drilling right off your coastline. One should look at the real picture before trying to answer complicated questions with naive, simplistic solutions. That is funny what you say about Iraq. Ten years ago Iraq was severely limited in what oil it could export yet oil was running less than $20/barrel. Why are they all of a sudden the major reason it is over $100/barrel today? I can't point to any direct threat to Iran as far as bombings go, but if you want to see real turmoil just let Iran's leader build a nuclear weapon or two. He has already promised to wipe Israel off the face of the planet, and I will guarantee you those same people who think we are their greatest security issue will be begging for our help should the unthinkable occur. Um, hello? Mcfly? Are you there? We went into Iraq with a whole coalition of other countries. In fact many of those countries still have troops in Iraq to this day. Our troops may be in the majority over there, but this is a common theme over history of letting the U.S. bear the brunt of the work. Last I checked there hasn't been any real peace in the middle east for the last 1000 years. I really can't blame Israel for their actions over there. Israel took that land they have when they were attacked. Now Palestinians, and the rest of the muslim world think it is their right to have it back?
