True enough, but then the question is, why do Americans root for a
policy that *will* bring the oil prices even higher, i.e., a policy of
gunning for the sanctions on Iran (even just talking about the
sanctions while beating war drums has already pushed up the prices)?

Americans, *think* before you act (or reply to pollsters) -- for once!
