so oil prices are outlandish right now - The Iraqi's want us over there till they get established? or something.... So - why can't they begin to pay for our services and sacrifices? Can't they supply a portion of our oil needs at a reduced rate... Can't they show some good will and appreciation?

That would be ideal....but it's probably like here...a few own the wells and they don't want to cut their own capital so phooy on us! From what I understand we have enough in Alaska to take care of ourselves but are not drilling there to protect endangered species.....Hello.......

no kidding, I guess we do not have a concern for the species effected by near eastern drilling (desert spiders?)

Wouldn't that be nice! But I think we have a better chance of hitting the lottery before that happens. What I would really like to see is that the states/feds cut back on the taxes we pay on gas. Something has got to give.
