Addiction and Truth

Thomas Friedman op-ed at the NYT:

But we also need to tell ourselves the truth. We constantly complain about the blank checks the Saudis write to buy off their extremists. But who writes the blank checks to the Saudis? We do ? with our gluttonous energy habits, renewed addiction to big cars, and our president who has made "conservation" a dirty word.

Another scathing op-ed from Mr. Globalization. We're addicted to Saudi oil, but we are in denial. Bush has some hard questions to answer. I just hope somebody asks him...
