someone explain to me why iraqi's are only paying 5 cents a gallon for gas

I honestly think this thread is silly as hell. After all these people have been through because of their own leader and taking the brunt of the fallout from his actions people in the US and other places are bitching because they only pay 5c a gallon amidst terrorist bombings, incomplete infrastructure, etc etc... jeeeeeeeeez

what alternative are you suggesting?

and will this alternative be used in all modes of transportation, planes, trains and automobiles?

and do we mandate companies to invest in R&D, testing, phasing in, and building an infrastructure for such alternative?

no amount of complaining, whinning, or bitching in the whole world is gonna change the fact that crude is the best source available and will be until it runs completely out. period.

Great. So by all means let's continue with the status quo because it's hard to change even though it will be a million times better for everyone once the change is made.
