An excellent column by Ann Coulter on the Democrats position against drilling for oil in the Alaska Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Exactly. Plus, we need to have our own source of oil, separate from the Middle East to fall back on. Too many times now, the Arab countries have tried to use oil as a weapon, and only an idiot would think they wouldn’t use it again.
We can be looking for new energy sources at the same time, but we can’t shoot ourselves in the foot while trying to look for them.
I forget the eact wording on the program I was watching on the Comedy Channel one night (prior to 9/11), but it was a comedy sketch with President Bush discussing energy policy with his advisors. When someone said that enviromentalists were against drilling in ANWR, Bush responded by by saying ”...you’d think Alaska was the Holy Land or something…”
It’s not like after the drilling starts, developers will start building freeways and shopping malls.
