There is increased demand, thus, the cost continues to rise. The U.S. has to recognize that our dependence on foreign oil has to cease. Were we to eliminate our own dependence, that would help, but I doubt those regions would be less stable without the infusions of cash they currently receive from oil. They'd just have less access to weapons that can do us harm from far away. On the other hand, we'd also have to transition other mass quantity oil users off the petroleum titty and onto ethanol to really resolve the problem.

But then again, I am an alarmist. I think it has something to do with the nukes Israel has at the ready.
