The UAE and Saudi Arabia will ban Blackberry email and text messaging. Why? Are they afraid of terrorist activity? NO. The freedom of the internet and encrypted communications threaten their dictatorships. They are the typical dictatorships that want to spy on everyone and know everything people say and do.
So, should we do any business with countries like this? We say not if we can help it! It would be great if America as a free nation, did not have to buy oil or anything else from these dictatorships or from any country that participates in OPEC.
Should we treat these countries as allies? Why should we? They will do whatever they want to without a second thought about us. Other than oil we don't need anything from them.
We support these dictatorships by buying oil from them and selling weapons to them. This needs to stop.
US energy independence should be a number one priority. We should drill in deep water, shallow water, dry land, mine shale and the oil sands, and find oil anywhere in the world that we can drill for it.
We should have a crash program to build nuclear power plants and convert vehicles to electric power as soon as possible. The intrusions of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and China on communications freedom should be a wake-up call for the US. We should find enough oil for ourselves and, if we have a surplus, sell to other free nations.
Write and call your Congressmen and tell them that you want some action on energy policy or they are going to be looking for a new job in November.
