And never a stupider and more poorly executed war of choice as Iraq, it makes Viet Nam look like a smashing success.

Excuse me, but you're wrong. Iraq can be a contributor to our own deficit, moral discord, and whatever else we currently find bothersome as a country, but - and not that I am defending Bush, but rather looking at this as an investor, this has little to nothing to with Bush and his M.E. antics. They don't help, but they're not nearly as large an impact as growing cities and populations, specifically in China. If the Chinese (and others) were stagnant, you'd see lower crude prices, and for that, lower pump prices. Blame Bush for a lot of things, but the cost of gasoline is not the place where many believe it his fault.
And anyway, oil and gasoline prices always go up in the summer. $1.75? Where do you buy your gas? Tijuana?
