CNN: Middle East

Okay, so how does our alliance with Israel help the price of crude. Seems like we should be more aligned with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Doesn't Iraq and Iran produce a decent amount of oil too? So, how can we be aligned with the arab countries and Israel at the same time? What happens if we find out that Saudi Arabia has been helping Hezbollah? Should we invade it too, or back Israel in a war against Saudi Arabia if it decides to go that route? Again, these are all hypotheticals, and I seriously doubt that Saudi Arabia is helping Hezbollah, but one never knows.

I am just praying that Ford comes out with something that gets 40+ mpg by the time I need a new car. I was in my parents' neighborhood two days ago visiting a couple of clients and I had to get gas. I thought I was getting screwed when I paid $3.11 a gallon, but when I got home I saw that the station by us was charging $3.17 a gallon. I think that might be the most I have ever paid for gas. If it isn't, it sure is close. It cost me $43.50 to fill up my Taurus.
