Dear Dr. Pipes,
Thanks for another informative article. Here is something that could turn the whole situation around without dropping a bomb or firing a single bullet.

If this technology is even half as good as they say it is, we could go on a crash program to spread it all over the USA and the world. Before long OPEC would be put out of business.

As for the Saudis, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing if the monarchy was overthrown and Bin Laden was elected to be their president. Then we would have a country to go after instead of the elusive terror network.
