Think about it........
The OPEC minister
may look you in the eye and say, "We are at war with you infidels and
have been since the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant you
haven't even recognized it. You have more missiles,bombs, and
technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and
extracting on a net basis about $700 billion a year out of your
economy. We will destroy you! Death to the infidels!
"While I am here I would like to thank you for the following: Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil
shale
and tar sands. We know if you did this, it would create thousands of
jobs for U.S. citizens, expand your engineering capabilities, and keep
the wealth in the U.S. instead of sending it to us to finance our war
against
you infidels.
"'Thanks for limiting Defense Department purchases of oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love
it when you confuse your allies.
"Thanks
for over-regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying, by
decades, the development of alternate fuel technologies.
"Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in Alaska, and anywhere there is an insect, bird, fish, or plant
that might be inconvenienced. Better that your people suffer. Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective.
"Corn
based Ethanol. Praise Allah for this sham program! Perhaps you will
destroy yourself from the inside with theses types of policies. This is
a gift from Allah, praise his name! We never would have thought of this
one! This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD.
Have them use more energy to create less energy, and simultaneously
drive up food prices. Thank you U.S. Congress!
"And finally,
we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end. You will be glad
to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real
estate, and publicly held companies. We also finance a good portion of
your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies for
our benefit.
"THANK YOU
AMERICA!"
