Not me. It would have taken 30 years or so to get off the imported oil addiction, 30 years which the US and its allies have UTTERLY WASTED. Now all of us must suffer the consequences, including a huge spike in the cost of imported oil, or maybe even domestic rationing. The oil ticks fighting each other will be a side show compared to that.
