I absolutely 100% Draw back is that it has not been going on for just three years, it's been going on for a hell of alot longer than that...domestic produced gas or oil products costs no more than $20.00US/barrel to produce, and even at this price oil companies make a crap load of cash! If based on 17 million barrels a day being produced that would be an average daily haul of $340million dollars a day! When the world price of crude is $66.00US/barrel (I Believe that is todays current price), if we just compare the difference, that would equate to $782Million dollars/day!!! But how would we implement a two tier gas price system? one for domestic and one for imported? Impossible it will never happen...answer is reduce offshore dependancy for fuel, especially flaky unstable countries such as Nigeria, Venezuela, and especially the middle east! Get the troops home and let them (People in mideast countries) take care of thier own flippin problems out there. Stop being the worlds police force!! Especially if your military presence is unappreciated! My favorite statement is "RULES OF WAR" who TF came up with that????In order to have rules you need to ensure all parties will accept them, it's fundamentally flippin useless if your side is the only one observing them!! Severe Problem's coming from a village or city? LEVEL IT!!! ASK QUESTIONS LATER!! Don't give people time to escape...sorry but this is how war's should be delt with, like the Romans use to say "UNLEASH THE DOGS OF WAR"... all gloves off...army with the best toy's wins!!

Yea yea I know, I digressed a little bit!

Cheers!
