LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Iraq policy holds cure for our energy crisis

If the United States Congress actually has an interest in relieving the energy crisis, here is a plan to accomplish that within 30 to 60 days: Start pulling our troops and military equipment out of Iraq, and, then, find storage space for the flood of cheap oil that would immediately start flowing from the Arabian Peninsula.

If we continue to defend Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Dubai and the Emirates from Iran without a “payback“ from them, oil prices will continue to escalate until a few oil-producing countries totally control the world‘s economy.
