If you believe Bush's ridiculous commercials saying that drug users support terrorism, then certainly you must also believe that oil use also supports terrorism. Islamic militants are not funded by drug cartels, they are funded by oil exporting states. I'm sorry, there's just no way around it.
So yes, it's time to re-think your use of oil. Does that mean you should stop wearing lipstick? Slow down, tiger, and put on your thinking cap for a second. I would suggest that if you have any concern for these issues that the more logical approach would be to look at "first order effects" first.
Where do we use the most oil in this country? Civil transportation. Which sector of civil transportation uses the most oil? Automobiles. If you want to get the most oil conservation bang for the buck, start there.
