Why do we allow the Saudis to gouge us at the gas pump & use the profits to spread radicalism & buy our ets?

If we stopped buying the gas we wouldn't have to worry about it. There is no practicable way of preventing the Saudis from supporting terror, except through economic means. So, the best we can do is to stop buying as much gas and lobbying our government to sanction the Saudi leadership and/or embargo the oil. I don't really think either of these will really happen. The Saudis just control too much and there is no real alternative to gas available yet. So, as we have known for years, the best way to fight terror is through alternative energy.
