This is true, and I sure as heck don't want to be blackmailed by Russia in order for them to stop.

Lightbulb!!! Why doesn't Bush get with his so-called "oilbuddies" and see if they will pay for a pipeline across the strait from alaska and into Russia, let's start pumping their oil!! Gives the russians an infusion of cash, and hopefully will keep then from selling their nuclear knowledge to all bidders, and gives us a valuable resource so that we won't be as dependent on the middle east, and We have a stick over Russias head. They'll get addicted to our cashflow from oil, and if they misbehave, we stop buying oil from them.

3 birds with one stone, infusion of cash into russia, less reliance on Middle east oil, and we have a stick over the russians heads.

OOOHHHH, I like it, what do you all think?
