Should USA stop buying Saudi oil?

Saudi Arabia rakes in billions of petro-dollars. The money they make by selling oil they use to finance the very dangerous Wahhabi sect of Islam around the world.





Saudi Arabia pays for the construction of mosques in countries like USA, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, England, etc. They then pay for Wahhabi Imams to preach hatred and religious bigotry at those mosques.





1. What if USA stopped paying for Saudi oil? What would be the pros and cons? Could America withstand the higher prices as a result?





2. What if USA stopped buying Iranian oil at the same time?





Please answer both questions and draw out the logical and possible consequences.Should USA stop buying Saudi oil?
The answer is to end our dependency on oil altogether.





It sounds idealistic but there's no reason why we can't make it happen. If we invented rockets that can go to the Moon, we should be able to develop alternative energy sources.





If the government weren't in the pockets of the energy companies, we'd have a lot more freedom to do this.Should USA stop buying Saudi oil?
sure if you want pay $12 dollars for gallon or more..
WHERE WOULD WE GET OIL THEN...?
Then all they would have is Canadian Oil
Yes, I think America could live without oil from Middle East countries. But, I think there are a few main reasons we continue to buy oil from countries like Saudi Arabia. The first is simply we need cheap oil. America is slow to produce alternate fuel vehicles and such. This makes us very ouil dependent. Secondly, we want to keep on good terms with the Saudis. They may do things we do not like, but overall they remain one of our only Arab allies in the middle east. Refusing to buy their oil would end that relationship in a hurry. Third, fossil fuels such as oil will not always be available. Sooner or later, the wells in these oil rich countries will stop producing. When this happens, America will still have Alaska to explore and will still have some of the richest oil fields in the world. We buy from others so we can horde our own.





These are just a couple reasons. I am sure there are more though.
We DON'T buy Iranian oil.





As for Saudi oil, well, we could eliminate all Middle East oil from our consumption by allowing our refineries to process heavy oil and importing it from other wonderful places like Russia and Venezuela, and accepting higher levels of air pollution.





S.A. kind of has us over a barrel, not on price but for supply, at least in the short run.
The Us citisens wouldn't stand for the higher cost of fuel if we stopped buying Saudi oil. Look how we start whining %26amp; pi--ing when gas(petrol) hits $3 a gal. Saudi, Iran who the hell cares, they are all the same.
no, we should keep sending money to the country who's people took down NYTC's .......





US gov cares little about its people, .........its all about business
US JUST CANT't DO THAT.
Yeah, run all those V12s on carrot juice.
