While I hate to admit it, the democrats may win the presidency in '08. Every presidential candidate has proposed a plan to pull us out of Iraq in less than a year.
After they pull us out, Malake (the prime minister of Iraq) and Ahmehenijad will ally, Russia has already allied with Iran. With our enemies (yes, Russia is still our enemy, like it or not) in control of most of the major oil reserves they will be able to corner the world oil market. This will severely damage the US economy.
Oil isn't just used in gasoline, anything plastic in your house is oil, your electricity is created by oil (and coal), your heater probably runs because of oil, the pump for your running water runs off oil.
Finding an alternative energy source is a great ambition but nothing produces energy in any amount compairable to oil, so the logistics and the cost of using the current sources of alternative energy make them completely implausable.
Thoughts? Flame away!
