I do not recall anyone being against drilling for natural gas but I do understand the negative reaction to an argument of "you people".
5 years ago I remember talking about energy independence. Coal and oil were the only things offered by Republicans. When you bring up natural gas "well yeah, but cars don't run on that" was the usual answer.

Oh how little we understand.
I don't think that would have stopped anyone from pursuing natural gas. Cars don't run on coal either so I can only assume that the argument was a bit more complicated than you are making it out to be.
These extremists are quick to levy reprisals, start talking out against them and you'll find your whole family beheaded the next day. powerful incentives to keeping ones mouth shut and staying out of trouble.
I'm hoping these people are just going through a phase in their social evolution and will at some point sort out their discontent hopefully sooner than later.
Well, we nailed bin Laden, and a few other germs, and just maybe it would be a good idea to publicly list some pf the most vicious fanatics, the ones who have shed innocent blood and are clearly irreconcilable, then work on (and make known) our batting average in sending them to their 100 virgins.
I don't want to sound like I'm spoiling for a fight, but when a sworn enemy has publicly advertised their goal of destroying us (and Israel, and all of Western progress), then I think the term "extermination" is not too strong to use when speaking of such a den of vipers.
Reportedly, there is a mosque in London where the most virulent anti-Western rhetoric is spewed on a weekly basis; occasionally delivering a severed head of a few of the ugliest and most bloodthirsty among their "heroes" as a "suprise" just might get a message across.

In countries with millions of inhabitants having a few thousand on the streets can seem like a lot but the overall numbers of these malcontents represent just a tiny fraction of the actual population..
Also fighting these main agitators is tough as they dont wear uniforms and they like to hide behind women and children.
We don't buy from them? China will buy it instead....
Yeah that really makes good sense hotair.....
You would make a good point except for the fact that I did not say America should stop buying their oil. I said stop buying their oil. IF the western countries stopped buying their oil that would be a huge hit.
Stop buying their dam oil! Their primary source of income is oil. You cut off their funds and they have to actually be productive.
Simply impractical at the moment. When the US develops enough sources of alternative energy then perhaps the US can slowly wean off the usage of oil that comes from the Middle East.

How about we load live pigs aboard as many C-130's as we can round up, and then drop them over all major middle eastern cities?
I like that!!! Although I think we should use dead, rancid pork.
