We don't need to have a large military presence there, and it sure
won't be for a hundred years. The oil will run out long before that
and the desert kingdoms will be able to go back to what they were
doing a thousand years ago.

I have no hope that either Hillary or McCain will figure out how to
end the age of oil. Obama might not be able to do it either, but I
think he has a clue that it needs doing.
