[QUOTE]
"You could make the argument that maybe if we were weaned off this
(oil), not just us but the rest of the world, we could look at (the
Persian Gulf) with more equanimity, we could commit less military power,
spend less money on it, be less out there, and take a piece of the story
away from the Al Qaeda narrative."
-- Barry Posen
