The point was, the vast majority of our oil doesn't come from the middle east. I think the point's been proven. The difference between 19% of our oil (which I was stating as the TOTAL oil consumption) compared to your number of 23% of IMPORTED oil isn't really an issue.
And as DC said before. If the main issue was oil we could have probably leveraged the oil from South and Central America a lot easier than going to war with Iraq.
As far as going to war with China. I find that to be a highly unlikey situation. Though, I'm no brilliant war strategist then again neither are you. Either way, I think we'll both agree that a war with China would be the absolute worst thing for both countries invovled with neither "winning" anything of any kind of value greater than the sum that they would have both lost.
