#1 Actually, the price of European gasoline is due to sky high taxes, both for revenue and "conservation" purposes. A jump in the baseline price would make the pain more unbearable to consumers. Of course, they could lower their taxes temporarily to offset the higher prices, but there would be ice-skating in hell before that would happen.

#2 So why does President Bush take consultations from Saudi clown-princes Abdullah and Bandar, from a sick country with 25 million indoctrinates, when he can draw from the Security Council states with 1.5 billion persons? Russia is owed $8 billion by Saddam. China holds considerable Iraqi debt.

Saudi Arabia began as a fiction after the Hashemite revival died, and will die as a bad memory. They have nothing to offer this earth.
