Actually, I think the Staits should be blocked -- and the Iranian Oil fields "shut down"...

Who would hurt the most or last longer?
Iran and their Arab neighbors, without ANY income....from ANY source sufficient to sustain basic requirements, or the Western World for a few months?

Sooner or later, the Islamanazis will threaten the shutoff of oil.... Why delay the inevitable?
It is best we address while strong, rather than wait until the enemy is stronger and perhaps nuclear capable.

Actually, the President has a plan well underway regarding our energy future. Just google "colorado shale oil" or "Green River basin". He opened it up in the Energy Act of 2005.
