War ends We win: when we pass a law that makes the minimum price of gasoline at the pumps: $1.75/gallon.
The ethanol investors do not build ethanol distilleries because monopoly OPEC would lower the price of crude/gasoline to rust out the billion dollar/million barrel a day ethanol stills.
Brazil is energy independent: ethanol; All their cars come built running on ethanol; The gas station fills the tanks with ethanol, no gasoline.
Archer Daniel Midland made millions in the USA selling $1.00 gallon ethanol in the 1990s;
That trumps any canard/invalid objection to ethanol. Use Cellulose ethanol, not corn ethanol.
Cellulose Ethanol energy independence in the USA, will balance the trade deficit, create full employment, bring down the price of fuel, break the monopoly on the pricing of fuel, balance the USA government budget, create less pollution, make the USA energy independent, and end the war because we will stop funding the bad guys everyday at the gas pumps.
With all the cars running on ethanol; the price of oil will collapse and the radical Moslem hordes will no longer have the funds we used to give them from gasoline sales to finance the war against us.
I built a distillery and converted my GM car to 160 proof ethanol by 1982; and tried 25 years to get the USA off of gasoline. Unless the strategy I am outlining is adopted, the war that is coming, regardless of who is elected, will make Vietnam look like a cake walk.
Sharia people are at war with The West because Sharia people believe Islam can not survive against: a free market economy with free speech to criticize Islam.
International law, has defined a set of war rule parameters that guarantee no war can be won by good guys and that guarantee nice long lasting wars with lots of weapons sales.
Generals: Patton. Eisenhower, Marshall , Sherman et al would all be war criminals under international law and Europe would be under Hitler; the American civil war would not be over if fought under the current rules; which, intentionally or unintentionally, are designed for a hundred year terror war.
Cut off terrorist infested countries/areas: no phones, no lights, no motorcars not a single luxury. No food, no water, no ships/airplanes in and out, no trucks cross their borders; nothing till they give up the terrorism. Better the terrorist should die right there than have a war where the world is terrorized for 100 years.
The leadership that sponsors these terrorist suicide murders are the Heads of state in Tehran, Riyadh, and Damascus.

REPORT FROM THE FRONT

‘I Have a Very Deep Well of Empathy’

If there were a Mount Rushmore of reform, Ralph Nader's profile would be on it. But now, at 74, he is known less as the father of the consumer and public-interest law movements than as a perennial—and controversial—presidential candidate. Many Democrats blame him for the George W. Bush presidency, arguing that, in 2000, Nader siphoned away thousands of Florida votes that would have given Al Gore a clear-cut victory there. Unapologetic and energetic, Nader sat down with NEWSWEEK's Howard Fineman last week to discuss why he is running again. Excerpts:
Fineman: Do you think personal behavior should be a test by which we measure public officials or candidates for public office?
Nader: If what [Eliot Spitzer] did … was basically something that compromised his public policies, or what he proposed or what he didn't propose, then that would move it to a much higher level. But at the present time, we're not seeing the kind of outrage vis-à-vis politicians whose behavior results in devastating consequences—economic, health and safety—to the public the way the media and others zero in on personal moral turpitude.
Don't you feel the least bit of guilt or responsibility for the fact that George W. Bush—whom you describe, essentially, as a war criminal—is president?
I think the Constitution says that we all have an equal right to run for election. And if that's so, we have an equal right to try to get votes from one another … But more important is, would Al Gore have been president if there was no Electoral College? Yes, because he won the popular vote … So, let's focus on the Electoral College and stealing elections instead of focusing on small parties who have every First Amendment right to try to run and make this country a better place to live.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have said that they want to begin pulling troops out of Iraq immediately. John McCain has said that we may have to keep troops in Mesopotamia for 100 years. Isn't that alone enough to make a lot of people who might support you, and even you, say, "Well, maybe we ought to throw our support to the Democrats"?
I don't believe Obama and Clinton, that they want to get out of Iraq and they actually will get out of Iraq … There is no way, given their behavior in the Senate, which is about all we can predict from, when they supported again and again the funding for this criminal, unconstitutional, boomer-anging war in Iraq, that they are going to, if they reach the White House, actually have a six-month—or some specific—deadline.
Is Clinton right when she says Obama's semi-antiwar candidacy, shall we say, is based on one speech that he gave in 2002?
He could have raised the issue of why George W. Bush, who thinks this is a great fight for democracy and freedom—and it's worth the sacrifice, as he's told us many times—doesn't urge Jenna and Barbara to join the armed forces, as the children of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower did.
Should Hillary be urging Chelsea to volunteer for military service?
Any time the Congress and the White House gets this country into war, there should be a statute that moves immediately to conscript all military-age, able-bodied children of members of Congress, the president and the vice president.
