“The country is such a bunch of bone-idle bums. . .” Well said! I was on a US Navy warship that was training Saudi sailors. We were tying up at a pier (a pretty critical phase of ship handling) and all the Saudis handling lines just stopped and dropped them in water!!! After the screaming and yelling stopped it was determined that it was prayer time and they were done!!! If I wouldn’t have seen it with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed it.

[G]asoline, some recent price hikes notwithstanding... adjusted for inflation... was the lowest gasoline price, ever... [I]n 1970, we imported 22.7 per cent of our crude oil. Now we import 59 per cent, and almost a third comes from the Middle East... U.S. oil consumption went from more than 20 million barrels a day in August 2001 to about 18.8 million a day in January 2002... But the best thing we have going for us at the gas pump is the no-account, bone-idle, useless bums sitting on 65 per cent of the world’s oil... [T]he total nonpetrochemical exports of the Arab world do not equal Finland’s.
