I think that the government could do something but they are so out of touch with reality that they won't. When Clinton was faced with the same thing he released the stategic reserves and that brought the price of gas down right now. Bush could do the same thing but he won't because he is probably profitiing by it some way.

We can't. This administration is really makin it hard. Sorry there is no answer. It would be alot easier if we Impeached BUSH though!

The answer to most of the US's problems is our dependency on oil.  Not only for automotive fuel but also for energy generation and heating.  We need to find cheaper and more efficient ways to handle these issues and soon.

I think we are placidly working our way toward dictatorship and I expect Bush to do something drastic to try to hang on to the Executive Office. Such as declare an emergency of some sort and state that he has to remain president or we will all die. \nI feel pretty grim about it all.\nKiss UNITED STATES OF AMERICA goodbye.\n\nFor the moron comment above mine:\nIF the government can't help people in a massive emergency where thousands are dying and bodies are piling up in the streets, what then IS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A GOVERNMENT????\n\nThe reason we HAVE a government at all is to come to the rescue in a huge emergency such as a city being destroyed.

yeah i generally agree with you, \n\ni think bush corolates with this. people assume the government is full of idiots and is incompodent. but what if that was opposite.\nin order to instate new world order, eventually america must fall. but ya'll don't want that, right? ya'll fight like hell to keep america together. \nso how would one get america to give up it's soverenty.\nthat right there is a long answer.\nbut i'd say if new world order really was happening american citizens right behind the muslims exteremists would be the top hurdles to overcome.\nif your not blind then you should notice america is decaying, slowly but surley. \nso really i think we are being destroyed from within without barley even knowing it

Another division or so and we might actually become effective at stopping both the human traffic and drugs. I think people or underestimating the positive effect this could have against the drug insurgency. Mexico has always been a major player and the drugs have contributed to the immigration problem.

Thankfully, we're veering right.\n\nStill with that tired, old "war for oil" hippie protest I see. Tell me, exactly where is all of this oil we've stolen in the war.\n\nWe became the world's police after WWII, way before you were born.\n\nWe could be spending our money on making our military even stronger is we weren't busy wasting it on failed liberal social programs.\n\nThe LAST THING libs need is a better drug program.\n\nWho's threatening your freedom of speech? Do you mean when those "evil conservatives" try to prevent you from urinating on the graves of soldiers?

The realities of the oil crunch and energy-hungry nations have forced many countries into a potential global conflict. We can't back away from it but we could limit it by producing alternative sources of power. While the US sanctions the war in Iraq (as a source of black gold),it condemns China for seeking the same in African countries...by peaceful means! The American government has been led by wealth over many years,and the current administration is not an exception. Perhaps we should require a different document....not of independence but a curriculum vitae of elected officials as well as proof of their financial dealings.

Bush sure must be desperate to save his job and reputation- but I'm afraid it's a bit too late for that! Calling all Americans- WE CAN STOP THIS WAR IF WE BAND TOGETHER AND PROTEST- JUST LIKE WITH VIETNAM!!! We can bring our troops home- we need to take to the streets and exercise our constitutional rights (freedom to assemble peacefully to protest, and freedom of speech!) F.U.C.K. Congress, and the president- we can (and should!) "override" them both!!! Let's bring our troops HOME where they belong, before any more innocent lives are lost and families torn apart!!! We are AMERICANS, REMEMBER??? Are we just gonna sit back and HOPE for the best while more people die- or are we ready to actually hold our heads up and have our voices be heard, Constitution in hand, hand in hand? WE CAN DO THIS, and, WE SHOULD- NOW!!!

Now that Bush has gotten this country into this seemingly unending quagmire (see the history of the middle east-the warring never ends), I am afraid that "cut and Run" may not be the best option....yes it will make America look bad, weak, defeated in the eyes of the world (thank you Bush), but worse, I feel it will give the insurgents and terrorist cells everywhere the idea that they are the victors, this will only strengthen their resolve....If they can keep the worlds strongest military at bay....the skies the limit....know what I mean?  I wish there were an easy solution, however, now that we ARE there...I feel it might be necessary to re-strategize somehow, perhaps even a greater surge of troops, one big enormous assault, no holds barred....I don't know....but pulling completely out may not be the best thing.   I would at least try the diplomatic approach with all these western European countries that have more to lose in the long run than does America....much greater troop support from Germany, England, France, Italy,Spain etc.  whether for oil or to fight terrorism, or WMD...It is pertinent that Europe stop being so DAMN wimpy and fight for the safety of their own people and their own borders!  An extremely difficult question to answer indeed!  But, since I'm no military strategist...that's the best I got for you.....By the way, i'm a liberal!

First of all the way to stop this is to take congress back from the republican/facist majority that is currently in control.  the only reason bush has been able to get away with the crap he has done recently is because the majority of congress is on his side.  The dangers of a one party majority in all three branches of government have become more and more obvious, there is no balance of power if all sides are bent on the same destructive course.  2006 is an election year, now is the time to fix the problems.

No, actually B. B, the move to the center will help the country, I see a future now and the last 6 years I saw none. Just more war and more restrictions of our freedoms. I think this will be guarded better with the moderate democrats then it was with the moderate repuglicans.

well, if america backs out now, it'd make it look like we're weak. i guess we can't give other countries any reason to wage war on us.

This is a very good analogy, and I tend to agree with you. Back in the days when political necessity required me to take a hard anti-Bush approach, I summed it up this way "Bush may be a jerk, but he is our jerk, so back off. We will deal with him." We have. We now have a Democratically controlled Congress. That will help everyone. As to the outsiders, it is the same thing, we are in control. We have, and are, addressing the extremes, so, again, back off.

It's still a possibility in the US, I don't put anything past Bush and his goons. \n\nHe may be down, but not out.  Out for those bums mean death.  \n\nI'm sure as we speak they are planning their next move - who is the next most puppet-like fratboy who obeys his pappy's friends who can relate to the Republican constituents (read that redneck, inbred, trailer park, impressionable, reccessive imbeciles) without question.

They are doing it with General Motors cars as well. Televisions from RCA (Thompson Electronics), and I am sure thousands of other things America has given them with our outsourcing. Our trade with Communist China is upside down too with the Republican Administration of George Bush. 3% from us to them, and over 20% from them to America. They have broken Americas trade agreement for years now, and Bush wont do anything about it. They are Communists and an enemy to the United States. They are using the extra revenue to extend their military also. It's a bad deal all around. America is going to try to remove the republicans from our Congress in November hopefully.

Do you really think the US beaurocrats and politicians would allow that to happen?  We aren't a super power because we sit back and twiddle our thumbs while others beat us out on something.  We'd find some reason to sanction them long before they surpassed us.
