<p>Obviously we have some potentially problematic sources here.  Countries, with shall we say, problems with the western culture.  We need to reduce, no, how about eliminate our need for imports from these countries.  We have done this before.  You don&#8217;t see Iran on the list because we stopped imports from Iran awhile ago. Why not more countries?</p>
<p>This &#8216;oil economy&#8217; creates the need for &#8216;oil politics&#8217;.  We feel we must protect our interests by propping up these countries economies.  In most of the cases the countries are run by dictators or monarchs that spout abuse to the US, do not support human rights and make themselves rich.   Later for that.  Make it a priority to  eliminate these sources.  My Axis of Oil list would include; Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Iraq, Angola, Kuwait, Algeria, Congo, Chad, Russia.</p>
