The OPEC minister may look you in the eye and say, 'We
are at war with you infidels and have been since the
embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant you haven't
even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs, and
technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have
and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of
your economy. We will destroy you! Death to the infidels!
While I am here I would like to thank you for the
following:
1. Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale
and tar sands. We know if you did this, it would create
thousands of jobs for U.S. citizens, expand your
engineering capabilities, and keep the wealth in the U.S.
instead of sending it to us to finance our war against you
infidels.
2. Thanks for limiting Defense Department purchases of
oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love it when
you confuse your allies.
3. Thanks for over regulating every segment of your
economy and thus delaying, by decades, the development of
alternate fuel technologies.
4. Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in
Alaska, and anywhere there is an insect, bird, fish, or
plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your people
suffer. Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so
effective.
5. Corn based Ethanol. Praise Allah for this sham
program! Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside
with theses types of policies. This is a gift from Allah,
praise his name! We never would have thought of this one!
This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW
FOOD. Have them use more energy to create less energy, and
simultaneously drive up food prices. Thank you U.S.
Congress!
6. And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you
without end. You will be glad to know we have been
accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and
publicly held companies. We also finance a good portion of
your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and
economies for our benefit.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AMERICA!'
