There is a simple solution that could quickly end our conflicts in the middle east. Imagine the President gets up in front of an emergency session of Congress and announces that he is launching a full blown plan to eliminate all US reliance on foreign oil in three years. He asks the American people, businesses and political leaders to make serious short term sacrifices to achieve this goal. He then tells the oil-producing nations of the world that if they don’t clean up their backyards and stop funding terrorism and tribal infighting that three years from now the US will stop buying any oil from them, no matter what it costs us.

We could do this and I believe we could get other (EU) countries on board with it. It would be on a par with Kennedy’s Space Race to the Moon speech. Don’t see this President touching it tho…
