I filled the green Town & Country on the way home tonight. I paid 3.58 with the Walmart gift card discount. I also bought the oil and filter to do the oil change this weekend. The cheap Walmart oil is now up to 12.97 for the jug. That's up two bucks since my last oil change.

Nissan is considering holding off on plans to open up a third car shift later this year over concerns that the economy is going to go downhill because of fuel prices again. My shift superintendent and I were discussing this (among other things related to work) over our lunch break last night. The next couple months will tell a lot.

If it's not Iran then it may be Syria or Libya (where we sent 12,000 troops recently). I'm very concerned that after the election, regardless of who is elected, we will find ourselves in yet another war.

16 Reasons Why The United States Can No Longer Afford To Be The Police Of The World

Did you know that the United States military is now bombing 6 different countries? U.S. aircraft are conducting air strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen and now Somalia. There is a U.S. military base in over half of the countries on the planet and U.S. military spending is over 7 times larger than the military spending of any other nation on earth. Yes, the United States will always need a strong military. But with our national debt exploding at an exponential rate, can the United States really afford to continue to be the police of the world?

I have a question and then something to ponder. If it wasn't for the oil in the middle east would we even care about Iran, Iraq, Syria,and Libyia. If it were not for our foreign policy concerning the middle east and oil would we have been attacked on 9/11? I feel deep in my heart that the answer to both is no.
As long as we don't have an energy policy we will continue to be involved in the middle east and we will continue to be the world police man. Our oil companies and special interests are currently setting our foreign policy.
