The Scenario Beyond Oil

Submitted by Bader S (Saudi Arabia), Feb 22, 2006 at 09:38

If the West, led by America, is addicted to oil then why doesnt it go Cold Turkey now? That way everyone will be happy. The West will be happy because it doesnt have to deal with Muslims, the Arabs will be happy because they will get rid of the occupations in Iraq and Israel; the Arabs will also get rid of the Western Puppets that are holding their peoples back. The enviromentalists will be happy because global warming will be reduced. In fact, the West will do everybody a big favor if they dont wait 20 years but they go ahead and stop now.

The West has done enough damage to the world already by their insatiable need to burn fossil fuels and gobble up the world's other resources.
