Is Invading Venezuela a Good Way Out of an Oil Crisis? [View article]
Good idea! Let's invade **another** country... After all, look how successful Dubya has been in Iraq!
I think our misguided efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq have mal-affected our bottom line and have contributed to the devaluing of the Dollar and directly increased the price of oil not to mention straining the tenuous ties we have to our oil-producing **allies**.
We would be better off investing in our future with aid to foreign countries than bullying them. Further, we should get off the ethanol kick, drop our alcohol tariffs and align ourselves with Brazil rather than pissing off South America as well. It might be a good idea to help Mexico locate and drill for more oil as their welfare economy is supported by Pemex and their oil output is expected to fall by 2010. Maybe we need to take a note from the Chinese playbook and work with other countries to guarantee our future needs.
