I guess you could make a case to just remove yourselves from such a relationship if you really wanted to crash the economy but it is not just the US that is dependent on Middle East Oil, nearly the whole world is dependent on it. There is no way to just stop buying it. I still think the grand plan is to use Middle East oil until it is completely gone and then the oil we still have in the ground will actually put us in a stronger position. We have a lot of potential oil reserves near us and we have not exploited them for many reasons. There is much untapped oil in Africa as well. So I kind of like the idea of using up all the Arab oil first.
