Maybe it is time for the U.S. to back off and stop trying to be the world's police. If oil goes to $200 a barrel we will find new reserves or develop alternatives. Europe will figure out something as well eventually. If Vietnam taught us nothing else it is that we should go all out to win these conflicts or not engage at all.
Perhaps we should continue to give Israel support and let them carry the battle in the middle east if they can. I don't believe the U.S. has the stomach for these limited warfare engagements.
Israel seems to be fighting with one hand tied behind their back, worried about world reaction. They should either go all out and eliminate their enemies or quit putting their troops in harms way. When Iran gets their nuclear arsenal ready things will be much more difficult later on.
