Drill Baby Drill

Thomas Friedman asks the question:

Imagine for a minute that attending the Republican convention in St. Paul, sitting in a skybox overlooking the convention floor, were observers from Russia, Iran and Venezuela. And imagine for a minute what these observers would have been doing when Rudy Giuliani led the delegates in a chant of "drill, baby, drill!"

I'm sure they would have very wide smiles on their faces as they thought about how stupid Republicans and the American people truly are. It's certainly in their best interest to have us remain dependent on an oil-based economy.
