Sallies I wonder if the problem in Iran is that we do not buy their oil, because of exclusive deals: with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other Middle East Nations?  If this is so, Iran's anger is not so much, rooted, with the West as it is with other Arab Nations.

    Arvin is this something you dreamed up, for I have never heard such a notion, ever expressed?  Still, if we would buy oil from everybody that wanted to sell it, prices at the pump sure would be a wonderful sight.
