Many people say no war for oil. I think we need to have a war on oil. The major oil exporting countries around the world are not our friends, Saudi Arabia included.  Spending billions of dollars on trying to stabilize countries that only believe in power and hate is a waste of our time and treasury. The massive amount of money that we ship to these violent countries fuels much of the terrorism in the world. The Saudi government spends millions if not billions of dollars to spread madrases around the world that spread the Wahhabi sects hatred against non-muslims and  democracy. 

If we would turn our attention to energy independence and spend our money on home grown energy, there would be more jobs created in the U.S. prices would be cheaper, our industries could compete world wide, and  then there would be a lot less money for our enemies to use against us.
