Coffee Shop Economics and Foreign-Policy

This group of real Americans is not swayed by the political correctness observed on television. However, there is a group of people who we should probably call the silent majority who feel otherwise. Many people simply take and the nightly news and adopt those opinions discussed on television as their own. It is truly amazing to see what people really think about the war in Iraq and the price of oil in towns and cities across this nation.

One gentleman the other day told me; let's just nuke the Middle East and take the G-darn oil. As I sit in coffee shops across the country and meet with people who work for a living and have a family they often say things off-the-cuff that are a little disturbing. They say such things as; This is not right and it is unacceptable. In fact, when you listen to these people talk you get a whole different perspective of what is going on and what people really think about.

Consider this in 2006. It appears that people are getting very upset and when Iran threatens to raise the price of oil people are just that angry. Another one told me; $500 billion for Iraq might say they owe us some oil and a lot of it.
