Saudi Arabia to boost Oil Production to combat development of Alternative Energy

[conley]

That is thier worst fear.....we develop alternative energy thier economy is done.....

Do you think terrorism would increase or decrease after that happens.....

Its about dollars.....not the environment.......

I agree let them fight it out but soon they will using nukes then what? We will have to clean up that mess too.. The world will look to us to fix it like they always do....but most would say let them work it out....How about we try to prevent it.

It is believed that Iran has functional nukes and they do not want to bargain to reduce or eliminate them.

yeah but how in the world do we stop them from blasting each other into the stone age, since that seems to be what they want to do?

if there has to be a nuclear war at least it's on the other side of the world from us

maybe the EUROs could handle it since it is after all, their back yard

(but yes of course the US will get stuck holding the bag)

I agree ...but the EUROS are inept....they have been for years

So prevention is the answer I think because that would be a pretty big mess to clean up when it could have been prevented.

Even if we did let them handle it and they f ed it up who would they call? US

[conley]

right but still...how in the world do we prevent it?

it's like a bad episode of COPS...a drunk man and his wife just want to beat the tar out of each other

[Gunit Hussein Sangh]

If we don't need their oil ... who the F cares 

Whatever they want to do to each other will be just as important Sudan, Darfur and every other African nation engaged in genocide.

[conley]

don't get me wrong, i hate genocide and agree we should do all we can to prevent it

but it's just not realistic to expect the United States to be able to do this and intervene in conflicts all over the world. If it were your kid, would you want to risk his life standing between a Hutu and a Tstse (sp?)? i wouldn't. even if we could deploy our military to conflicts like that it would just be a disaster because everyone would blame the US if things went bad, right or wrong. it really is a thankless job that will just end up pissing more people off.

We do what we are doing......there is an agenda....of course we need excuses to go places and we have Iran surrounded. ...whats the next step

We cannot allow it...because we will be cleaning it up.

For the economic reason you mentioned, I agree. Because of this I have a hard time believing that the US will back out and let their economy flop. I think politicians like to use the phrase 'alternative energy', but in reality it is just a political slogan. In my opinion.

Okay, now I'm curious ... why are you studying Romanian?

[bored]

Româneste este cea mai limba frumoasa, Of course! 

Romanian is a very beautiful language and country. I have fallen in love with it. I've also enjoyed reading about Romanian culture and history as well. I hope to spend at least 1 month there at some point in my life to explore and just  enjoy the food and sites. They have many medieval towns and castles which I hope to someday see and touch.

[Mr. Dirlewanger]

Is Romania in the EU yet?

 

[Mr. Dirlewanger]

 I knew Bulgaria was so I figured Romania was too.

[bored]

Romania has been in the EU since Jan 1 2007. It had the fastest growing economy of all countries in the EU but has now fizzled out and was threatened with high inflation rates for 2008. I don't know what happened, i haven't followed the story in a few months.

Talk about objective reporting, see a Romanian news source. I was jealous!

romania had a tough loss in euro today
