Well, because a lot of people think the same thing.

I read about this OPEC stuff and witholding oil for a month and rising oil prices and I think: 'Isn't there a huge oil field off the coast of Newfoundland?'
Somebody please correct my apparent misunderstandings about the Hibernia Oil Field...

There's also a huge untapped oil field in Mexico and Texas. This oil field from what I am told has ore than enough oil to last the US for decades.

Wait, the Marines are part of the Navy? I know they used to be but I thought they had their own branch now. What have I been missing?

There's something like four times the amount of oil in Saudi Arabia in the northern Alberta oil sands. But all of it would have to be tapped pretty much instantly (forget a piddly little puddle like ANWR) in order to knock international oil prices down and wrest control of pricing from OPEC. It's an international market, and Cheneycorp will charge only as low a price as the Saudis are willing to charge.

quote:Originally posted by Matrix: I have been told the conflicts in the Middle East could start a World War 3. Most if not all Middle East countries would band together and invade Israel. Then in return our ally asks us for help (GB and USA) and either we turn them down or we in fact do help. Now that is needed a spark to ignite the fire.
What do you think?
I asked my Political Science teacher this question, and he said that the above mentioned situation would not cause WW3.

Maybe he could sort out the Middle East situation for everyone.

I dunno about PoliSci teachers. Back in '89, mine was sure the Soviet Union wasn't going to break up, while I was sure it was.
I still have, somewhere, the final essay I wrote on the subject, which I got an A on, but on which he wrote (of my conclusions, including my predictions of possible revolts in semiautonomous provinces of Russia - Chechnya, anyone?) "Not Likely." I should dig it up and frame it.
There's nothing like outpredicting the "experts."
