Well if we go to war against China, there'll probably be a shortage of
gasoline, so then SUV sales will drop off.  Is that the connection?  No
that's not it, it doesn't make sense.  How about if we didn't have to go
overseas to fetch all that oil, then maybe the U.S. could simply seal
off the borders like the Taliban - like the Taliban, with nukes - and we
wouldn't have to mess with any of those God damned foreigners at all any
more?
