You got that right, this is how the game will be played form here on. Unfortunately it'll be reflected back on the world economy. I just wish our farmers could/would do the same with our exporting of grain and milk. I'd love to see just how those Iranians can drink that oil.

Maybe Bush should threaten to cut off Iran's refined gas supplies in turn. They import much of their gasoline ironically because of lack of refining capacity. Maybe threatening to take out what refining they have and pipelines that import the finshed product into the country as well as bloackade Iran's ports might do the trick to shut up this clown.

Again, if the government wants to go after someone about the price of Gas in this country they would look at the speculators. The problems is some might have ties to unsuspecting politicians (Rats). That is why you don't hear them (Schummer, Durbin, Clinton, et.al) demanding probes into the trading market.

This is such a scam. The world has an oil glut. There is NO shortage of supply. Every driver in the USA should cut their driving by 15-20% this summer, and we would see the world drowning in gasoline.
It will be a happy day when we are all driving with 100% ethanol, thus starving all the tin-pot dictators that supply us with oil now, along with the thieves in the oil futures rip-off.

What's funny is that Iran NEEDS to export oil far more than China/America need to import Iranian oil. Iran's refinery capacity is minimal and it would be economically affected far more negatively by a well-enforced Iranian Oil Boycott than would the West and China.

At the end something should be done about the oils traders and speculators. We cannot simply leave the price this very important and very vital commodity being controlled by knee jerk reactionaries.
