Must-read: Fareed Zakaria on oil dependence and foreign policy

DC Clipmonkey just returned from a nice trip to Vermont during which he filled up his gas tank 7 or 8 times to the tune of roughly $25 at each stop (Obviously, he doesn't drive an SUV). DC Clipmonkey loved shelling out $2.50, $2.60, $2.70 per gallon and hopes that the price of gas continues to shoot up. Because only then will Americans start taking the problem of our addiction to oil seriously.

In an insightful commentary about oil consumption as foreign policy, Fareed Zakaria describes how our dependence on oil has us in a Catch-22 situation with brutal regimes throughout the Middle East.

This week, the Bush administration made a half-assed attempt to address the problem, but it will probably take $5 per gallon gas prices for our government and the American people to change their ways.

Bring it on.

Blog tools tackle content management
Deploying a full-blown ECM system to address basic corporate content publishing and workflow needs has been likened to trying to kill a fly with a rocket launcher.

Please keep on this issue. It is critical that our lawmakers do something about it. When they finally tune into the damage being done by our automakers and oil suppliers, Americans are going to rue the day the Supreme Court declared a loser President of the United States.
