How Energy From Space Relates To Fighting Terrorism

Has anyone else noticed that terrorism from the Middle
East is motivated mostly by the U.S. presence there,
which is, in turn, required by our need to protect oil
supplies? In other words, aggressively pursuing the
energy policy set forth in Dr. O'Neill's 1992 article
holds the potential of freeing ourselves from oil
dependency, and thus of disengaging ourselves from the
madness of Islamic fundamentalism.
Shouldn't we be pointing out this connection to our
Congressional representatives?
