Americans for Freedom & Energy Independence

Back when I began this blog, I posted the below thoughts. Recently I have been prodded to further this line of thinking to include energy independence. I believe that our need of oil from the Middle East dictatorships is a problem. As such, I fully support development of US coal, oil & gas resources, nuclear, wind & alternative sources of energy. I also support the development of hybrid, ethanol & "plug-in electrical" vehicles, as suggested by http://www.iags.org/saf.html and http://www.setamericafree.org/.
Check out the sites. Good stuff.

"After 9/11, Americans realized that the foreign policy in effect for the Middle East for nearly 60 years was a mistake. In order to contain the Soviet Union and ensure a steady supply of oil to the Free world, our leaders made the strategic decision to support dictators in many of the countries in South West Asia, which led to theft of state property by corruption high unemployment and overall mismanagement of these countries. The US focused on one problem - the Soviet Union, and unfortunately, millions of people suffered.Now, however, President Bush made the inspired choice to fix this error, and to support the freedoms that everyone on Earth fully deserve.The people of Afghanistan, unfree and mired in wars for decades are now free and slowly beginning to prosper.The people of Iraq, suffering under a madman for decades are now taking control of their own freedom, with the assistance of the US military. 8 million people voted [in January], and they will continue to gain in freedom, security and prosperity. The people of Lebanon deserve to be free, to not have to live under imprisonment and threat of car bombs. It is time the Syrian army leave Lebanon finally."
