The Gift From The Gods

So, with President Mubarak out, the Egyptian Military in, a question still remains . Who controls the Suez Canal? The source of oil transport that we, as a Nation, depend on. For you see , America is that most confusing, most perplexing of paradoxes . We are the greatest Nation on earth, with a system of self government thaty has brought freedom and liberty ; not only to ourselves , but to many nations around the globe. Our military is also second to none ; yet, for all our liberty , all our freedom , all our military might , we are in one way , the weakest nation on earth . For, you see, the United States alone, among the varied nations on earth , has no energy policy or dependable source of energy. Yes folks, the most powerful nation on earth ; is not energy independent. The bulk of our energy comes from overseas , from countries that are not our friends ; countries with whom we have an uneasy alliance, countries run by dictators and tyrants. This cannot continue. A nation that wishes to remain free , must be able to defend itself militarily, and the military, must have a power source. We won World War II for one reason alone , we had more of everything than the enemy . Our free market economy and mass production skills , simply out produced the Axis war machine. Plus , we were energy independent at that time. Who controls the Suez Canal? It would not matter at all to us, nor would we have spent billions of dollars in an effort to prop -up the Egyptian military, if we were energy independent. The Green peace movement, not to mention President Nixon's EPA, have done more to harm the security of our nation than any terror organization, simply by handcuffing our energy production in our country for decades now. This, cannot continue. With a faltering economy, we are already less respected by other nations that buy our debt; such as China . We cannot compound the mistake by being energy dependenton these nations as well . Fortunately, the solution to this problem is simple. We now have, on our own soil, an energy source that is dependable , plentiful , and, since it is made by the earth itself ; completely renewable and environmentally friendly . We will never run out of it, as long as the earth continues to exist.It's called OIL,and  in addition to fueling our homes , cars planes , and tanks, most of our products are made from it as well . In short , without oil, life , as we know it, would simply be impossible . Let the situation in Egypt be a wake up call . In an uncertain , unstable world , we need to remain a symbol of strength and stability . We can only do this if we are energy independent ., and that can only happen , if we put aside environmental politics , and face reality . Who controls Egypt is not the question . Who controls the U.S, is. There is only one way to resolve this question . We must drill here. We must drill now. The fate of the free world may very well depend on it . Perhaps it was no mere chance that the United States has more oil than any other nation . Perhaps it's a gift from the gods , to a nation that will use this gift to secure freedom and liberty around the globe.
