~e; oil and terrors

	the following is quoted from an article from stratfor.com....


U.S. Response Will Imact Oil Market
http://www.stratfor.com/home/0109120045.htm

"The long-term future of the oil market depends on a single factor: 
Which state helped the terrorists? If the world's operating 
hypothesis -- that an oil-producing Middle Eastern state was involved 
-- holds true, then the United States must seek to reduce its 
dependence on energy supplies from that region. Since that region 
holds two-thirds of all known oil reserves, that all but translates 
into not just weaning the world's largest energy consumer off of 
Middle Eastern oil, but off of oil period."


	if one could minimize the political dimension, and still
	accept the policy conclusion, edited by ~e.org, that:


"...the United States must seek to reduce its dependence on energy 
supplies (from that region. Since that region holds two-thirds of all 
known oil reserves,) that all but translates into not just weaning 
the world's largest energy consumer off of Middle Eastern oil, but 
off of oil period."

  	yet, given current policy, oil is the focus, home and abroad,
	and war is a solution, oftentimes, for such resources when
  	they are in jeopardy. a public energy policy which honestly
	addresses this dimension, from its short- and long-term
	strategic (economic, social, and political) dimensions,
	could through a peaceful transformation of rebuilding,
	design a system that offers different, and better solutions
	for building a democratic culture of freedom, and not fear...

  (it is believed by ~e.org that this is not a partisan vantage, but
  one of a common sense public policy that could help everyone change)
