#1 These folks need to learn about hot taps, like we use to put water services on watermains without shutting them down. Maybe we could get an NGO to show them how it is done safely. After all, this is part of the culture, so we have to be sennnnnnnsitive to their cultural ways, as pyrokinetic as they are to western eyes.

#2 Hey AP, most of the oil pipeline 'explosions' in Iraq are from local idiots trying their versions of a 'hot tap' (which our Marine tells us involves a cutting torch or metal file) in order to divert the product to the black market. Very few 'explosions' over the last couple of years were actually 'planned'.

#3 That's right, Mullah Richard. We need to teach the petrothieves how to do things safely. Ya see, they are people too, and they have feelings, especially when they are covered with burning petroleum products. Sort of a living Ronson ad.
