Oil WAR...just a matter of time

telewinz:
With gas prices (energy) going up so early this year and some saying $3.50 a gallon by July, do you think our way of life can go unchanged without armed conflict?

Standing Wolf:
If all else fails, perhaps we could drill for oil in Alaska. Heck, we could even drill for oil in the People's Republic of California.

Phantom Warrior:
That's pretty standard overseas.  When I was in Seoul, South Korea in 2003 I figured that the price of gas was about $4/gallon (I had to convert from won/liter to dollars/gallon).  And the papers keeps saying that, taking inflation into account, oil would have to hit $90 a barrel to be even comparable to the 80s.  I don't think $3.50 is close to being enough for war.

But I agree we need to quit dicking around and start taking advantage of all the oil we have right here at home.

As for war, if a shortage were coupled with another major terror attack in the US, the American people would support seizure of Saudi Arabia's oil fields for sure.
