Economically unfeasable? We canucks are exporting most of your oil to you, believe it or not... if that's the basis of your argument, then perhaps you need to reconsider. Incidentally, Saudi Arabia isn't even the second country, it's something like #8... As to the Saudis... I wonder when they're going to join the 21st century? I think someone needs to give them a time-forwarding machine to leave the middle ages. cheers lecentre Centrerion: Canadian Politics centrerion.blogspot.com In reply to JUSTIN GARDNER…

That was part of the plan a long time ago, but the ongoing problem in Iraq has scrubbed that.
