Anthony I am in the middle of some huge army bases here on Oahu and 
talking with returning  GI's and civilians who have been there I can

other countries starting with Iran next. This is a total wrong 
direction. We need to be developing alternatives to oil as fast as 
possible not using our might to steal what's left of a diminishing resource.
