#3 Maybe, but they've been far less effective than American frackers. Drill, baby, drill.

#4 Actually, bringing down OPEC would be a good idea.

It would put an end to a lot of the moslem BS running rampant in the ME and we'd have fewer pictures on YouTube of silver plated Audis and diamond encrusted Ferraris...

Those places are just tribes with flags (Hat tip to the late great Chris Hinchens).

Good catch, g(r)omgoru. Given that, the question for the group is whether Russia succeeded. Or perhaps whether the intention succeeded via the American execution thereof.

#6 What P2K said as much as anything brought about a weakening of OPEC. OPEC screwed the U.S. for far too long. Often oil money from the U.S. was in turn used to fund terrorism against us. Radical environmentalists in the U.S. have also thwarted becoming independent from OPEC. I appeciate a clean environment, but extremists have carried their cause to the left of loony.

#7 C S Lewis said that people have to worship/believe in something...so if they do not believe in God or Jesus the Messiah, they have to find something to worship.

Just color environmentalists just another group of religious fanatics.
