Iranian problems and american problems

So President Bush says America must reduce its oil dependency. This of course is going to be as easy as the heroin users in America going cold turkey. In fact its going to be harder, after all in the 70's oil crisis they said the same thing and look at us now, still consuming and in fact using more oil. So in the end this talk has a lot to live up to and with thirty years of saying this and not doing it I am doubtful.

Iran does seem to have a death wish at the moment. Now it cannot in my opinion do anything to us at the moment. But for the leadership of the west this is irrelevant, strike first is the order of the day and how can I blame them?
Of course after President bush's desire to control their dependency on oil perhaps Iran is thinking the same thing?
Who knows?

We've got them so why not anyone else?

Because having them makes us special. If everyone had them we would no longer be special. Don’t you want to be special?
