If the West is to help the East; the East should pay the Gas.

If the West is to help the East; the East should pay the Gas.

There are two basic ways, and two basic ways only, to conquer a nation; force of arms or by economic control.

At present, the West is spending much of it’s wealth in helping the Eastern revolutionary forces stabilize, organize and rid itself of the old political ways. At the same time, the East is attacking the West on the economic front, and preventing the West from helping it’s own Eastern political transition in a swifter fashion. IOW, the East is shooting itself in the foot by shooting the West in the foot. The East should recognize that it is hard for the West to put the hammer down when it is too expensive to put the hammer down. China is not helping at this point in time on the economic conquest of the western world with their dollar either. They should think globally a bit more. So should we all.

The East would be well advised to reduce the price of fuel to the West and thus fuel it’s own political aspirations.

I personally wish to contribute more to democracy, secularism and the individual freedoms that the East aspires to. If democracy is not about ending tyranny then it is worthless.

One of the founding notions of democracy, it seems to me; is that reciprocity is fair play.

In the case of fuel, it does not serve the East nor the West and the freedoms that both seek in terms of personal autonomy by having a high gas price.

That's a fantastic idea!

The West can go f*** itself.

its not like the middle eastern oil producers can just click their fingers and change the price of oil.

Or here is even better idea, We just leave them to fight it out between themselfs, Its there fault there in the mess there in by holding on to barbaric religious beliefs.

Yeah, better still carlstss.

well, to fill up a Yukon XL, its about 15 dollars here in Kuwait.

but, thats because all the oil is over here. i dunno why you want the east to pay for the gas, they aren't the reason our country is so screwed up with prices and they damn sure aren't the reason our economy sucks ass.

Opec can.

Good community spirit.
Pray you never need help.

Perhaps if the consumers of our fuels and munitions would be asked to pay for them then we would not be in the financial straights we are in.

Screw the East. I hope they choke on their oil.

indeed they have a very large control on the price of oil, but not total and regardless OPEC is a world wide organization they are not all eastern countries.

Algeria - Africa
Ecuador - South America
Iran - Middle East
Iraq - Middle East
Kuwait - Middle East
Libya Africa
Nigeria - Africa
Qatar - Middle East
Saudi Arabia - Middle East
United Arab Emirates - Middle East
Venezuela - South America

and really i don't think eastern countries like the united emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are in any dire need of help from the west.

iran are, well just crazy and libya, i imagine they have more important things to worry about now.
