The Venezuelan strike, Nigerian political turmoil, China industrializing and becoming the 2nd biggest consumer of crude oil and the over-regulated U.S. enviromental laws pertaining to domestically refining crude oil ALL have far more to do with higher prices at the pump than Iraq.

They probably didn't show those factors that contibute to the increased cost of fuel in F/911--not because they're not real, but because the truth doesn't lend itself to the "no blood for oil"-"corporate greed is evil man" mantra.

If anyone is so concerned about the price of oil and our dependene on it--you should lobby for drilling in ANWR while we seek alternatives.
