Has anyone considered that the Arab nations producing oil are very unhappy with what is happening because of our actions in their area of the world.Maybe this is a way to make us pay. For the most part their governments are kingdoms or dictatorships.Does anyone think those guys want democracy? As a side notion,has anyone heard anything of what is happening with the oil supply out of Iraq.Are they in any way helping us with petroleum.I think our government would be trumpeting about Iraqui oil being supplied to us if in fact it was a fact.As a side note, in the 1970s oil supply crisis,there was no actual shortage.At the the time.I was Chief engineer on a fully loaded tank ship with 210,000 barrels of oil.( Multiply by 42 to get gallons ).Typical time to discharge that load is 28 to 36 hour and then depart immediately for the next cargo.There was no storage space for our cargo ashore,so we had to wait six days before starting to discharge which then required four days.At the same time our company had to divert to Europe several inbound tankers carrying refined product due to lack of storage space in US. Go figure!
