A headline: "Lockerbie bomber 'set free for oil'"
The British government will be castigated for this, and everyone's knickers will get all twisted up.
But why? Isn't it perfectly logical that since the tree huggers have us totally dependent on oil from the desert, that if the Arabs want a favor from us we'd damn well better give it to them?
The gravest threat to western society is the oil producer's ability to simply close the spigot. How long do you think we would "Stand proud" with NO oil imports?
When will we have the good sense to go after all the oil that is beneath us and around us? There's plenty there to keep us going for decades. By that time the Near East would see that we were as essential to their desired way of life as their oil is to ours.
