I spent a week in Holland in 2003, and if I never leave the US again, that will be fine.

Socializm: The right of everyone to live in poverty together.

Problem: Next they set their sights on our things. They already feel entitled.

Thanks. The table was part of a larger article I wrote intended to refute the "war for oil" hysterics of the Left with some facts. You can read it here if you want. It was just something I knocked up. Interesting how these old articles sometimes crop up again! Reading through it, it is interesting that I based the sums on $25 oil! Now it's $50, which is providing a very nice windfall to the major OPEC producers such as Saudi Arabia, but will, as the table shows, make very little difference to Iran.
