Send Jimmy Carter over there to make sense to them, and problem solved.

I believe that a major thrust of U.S. policy regarding ALL Mideastern countries should be the 'fast track' development of the production and distribution of hydrogen energy. In view of the high price of oil and the certainty of the situation persisting, I'm disappointed and surprised that the private sector has not reacted to this opportunity. This relates to foreign policy because the terrorists are being financed in large part by our reliance on foreign oil. The investment required would be minimal compared to the cost of the military effort required to attempt to bring stability to the Mideastern hellhole.
