petroleum products are used as a base for many things we need besides fuel for our cars...i do think we should be using our own resources rather than helping brazil and other countries drill so that we can be their customers~ and the last people we should be dependent upon should be the middle eastern countries. my friend monkei seems to be of divided heart as many of us are when it comes to these complex issues. there just are no easy answers, but i think halting immigration from saudi arabia and some other problematic countries is a good start, as BTK suggested. our first duty is to protect our culture, and there is definitely a culture clash with eastern traditions. it does not make anyone "bad" but just hard to meld together with.
